dmshozer1 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 What do shooters think that are using the MBX compared to other specialty set ups like Taccom and Blitzkrieg Link to comment
brix Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 From what I've seen the MBX are pretty similar to the Taccom but the Taccom being less expensive. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using TapatalkI can only compare to my CMMG, I like them both. The MBX is a sweet light recoil impulse. The spring is a bugger to pull back far enough to lock. My CMMG is a 8.5 pistol no brake so can’t compare apples to apples, but it jumps a little more.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Puma Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) MBX is # 1 if you tune it to your load. Depending on your buffer spring you might have to cut 11/2" to 2" coils off for the bolt to lock back.You just have to have patience and play with it. I have tried them all....Blitzkrieg is a distant second. Edited July 6, 2018 by Puma Link to comment

Bunsen Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Only about 500 rnds through both an MBX and a CZ EVO and the MBX hands down and I love me some CZ action!!! Link to comment
Fo0 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 does the bcg need the counterweight removed for the MBX? Thanks Link to comment
Chillywig Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I tried it and the improvement over the KAK 9mm buffer was very small in recoil management. But I have not tried every spring bullet load etc - I switched to a MPX Link to comment

HoMiE Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 4 out of 5 GMs prefer Blitzkrieg Link to comment
AHI Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 no do not remove counter weight. get the tune kit . I ended up with the blue spring . double taps together and able to shoot a plate rack at 25 yards by sweeping the plates . just like using my shotgun. Link to comment

Fo0 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 has anyone tried to put the rifle length spacer in a carbine buffer tube to short stroke Link to comment
Fo0 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 i changed the yellow buffer spring to the JP rifles 308 Tuned and Polished Buffer Spring, 308 Carbine - much smother Link to comment
Bwillis Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Green spring, yellow sprinco loves 135-140 pf ammo. Link to comment
Mac-pcc Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I have shot all the buffers that you mentioned and I much prefer the blitzkrieg over the others. It's a much softer recoil impulse and seems a little flatter shooting. Link to comment

I've read that Max L and several others run the Blitzkreig but that's about all I've read about it. I have a 5007 Blitzkreig and so far do not see that much of an improvement over other buffer systems. Tried a almost a half dozen buffer springs with different weight buffers and 9mm loads. Received their stainless steel short stroke cylinder last week but have not yet tried that route. The testing continues. Link to comment

I guess the dentyne joke was a pretty bad one but most of the top GM shooter I know run the blitzkrieg buffer system. Link to comment
Rob01 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I ended up ordering an MBX system so we shall see how it goes. Won't be able to start testing until after SHOT though. Link to comment

I think the Blitzkrieg buffer system starts to come into its own when you short stroke the bolt... The more you limit bolt travel, the better it seems to shoot. Link to comment

I’m only using a 1/2” spacer to get the stroke need to eject and reset trigger reliably. Link to comment

The more you limit bolt travel, the better it seems to shoot. That’s the key and it’s all going to vary based on your load. Shot 3 different guns all with 5007 buffer and they all felt different based on factory ammo vs different reloads and bullet weights. Link to comment

You'll have to shorten the rifle spacer, but it should work fine. Link to comment

I'm putting together a backup PCC rifle and couldn't find another A5 tube, so I used a carbine tube I had sitting around... A one inch total (delrin+SS weight) buffer spacer would be pretty long in a carbine tube... Unless you stopped using the stainless steel weight. Link to comment
