Its tight... but they all run 100%. Use an uplula and its a non issue. Gen 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried them and had many problems with nosediving. Every mag with the new followers did this, but they did hold 29. Switched back to grams guts and capacity is back down to 28, but 100% reliable.

OpenshooterMclass4lyfe Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I grabbed a couple to test out. 170mm ones. I can only get 28. An the 28 is tight. Barely loadable. They also don’t drop easily out of my limcats. Mag release button is extremely tight with the atlas ones. Never had a problem with my mbx mags and I have 15 of them varying from 170-140 mm and they have always worked like a charm and hold 29 in the 170 26 in the 155 and 24 in the 140s.

Bostenelli Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 The atlas mags baseplate knob keeps sliding out it’s annoying. They seem to feed wel tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointblanktx Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 On the Atlas and MBX 9mm mags, do you still have to run the spacers like the old school STI's? Been a few years since I have been in the open game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourearequiredfield Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I ordered my first set of Atlas mags last season. They have been good to me. Just wanted the 155s MBX offered. I am kind of drooling over the new updated versions they released 2023. Probably going to try then for 2024 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostenelli Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 So far atlas mags have worked well for a season. For what is it worth I never had luck with mbx and they were new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runswithwood1 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Are the atlas 9mm 140s really 23 reloadable? I've only ran mbx mags thus far and looking for some cheaper alternatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
