TANFARM Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 As a follow up to my original post. I sent 4 MBX problem mags back to them to take a look at..... They seemed genuinely concerned about my nose dives and flips.. They ran all the mags through several different Open pistols , and did not appear to find any malfunctioning. Replace followers with current style and mailed them back. I guess at this point I am refocusing on extractor, ejector .... Anyway.....thank you to all at MBX for great service in helping me with my ghost problems!!!!!! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John So on other words John, they didn't fix your issues (and they are magazine issues) and sent the magazines back without any tuning or replacement of the magazine itself. Unfortunately, your problems will not be going away anytime soon. I received the same treatment. Explanation of how the magazine is fine, that it must be my gun or my ammo. It pretty much was an exercise in proving that the magazine was perfect and not in taking care of the customer. Sold my MBX magazines and replaced them with STI tubes, Grams Engineering Springs and Taran Tactical basepads. My problems with feeding went away. Good luck John.

Works great to re tune mags I also purchased this kit and it was money well spent. Probably the best tuning kit and video you can buy on the market.

This the only MBX mag I own is a 155 that malfunctioned from the start until I replaced the guts with Grams spring and follower. All my other mags are Tuned STI Gen 2 and have all run flawlessly.

echotango Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The original springs and followers are junk in my opinion. Yes, some work but issues go away once you replace the springs/followers. You can also buy just the tubes and build your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
