regor Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 A buddy tagged me in an MBX post on Instagram and I think it's awesome that MBX is entering this market. https://mbxextreme.com/index.php?page=Magazines_CZ I'm not sure I see much benefit of the 140mm mags since they are generally reliable in the small frame guns and the .40 large frame guns and going with Mecgar tubes + extensions is quite a bit cheaper than what MBX is selling them for, but the 170mm 9mm mags for the large frame 9mm mags will be a welcome addition to anyone who has dealt with the Czechmate's nose dives and issues with JHPs. I suspect the 170s will also come in cheaper than the $130 OEM 26rd mag + $40 CZC follower that is the standard now. Time will tell if they are reliably out of the box!

VeilAndrew Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Wow that looks promising. I picked up a Czechmate recently and I'm still working on breaking it in but I was really hoping I wouldn't mess my big stick up while attempting to tune it. Maybe I won't have to... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy_Ninja Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 This is a game changer for czechmate guys, getting 28 rounds in a czc extended 170mm mag with their springs which I find subpar to grams springs to run right is outright annoying.

CC3D Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Damn I just bought new mags for my TSO too! I should have waited a week. This is very exciting news, looking forward to seeing how those 170mm mags perform. Immediately sent this to my squad mate shooting a czechmate Edited November 4, 2022 by CC3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say MBX springs are sub par? Nobody I know and shoot with has issues at all with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 This is awesome. I love my MBX mags for my 2011s and my Tanfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I used the cz custom springs in my .40 limited gun for the last 3 years. Never had a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody I know and shoot with has issues at all with them. we had some very weak mbx springs (malfunctions after 1 week). mbx was not interested in fixing it either. we switched to tti springs (on the advice of a good shooter in washington who had a similar problem), which are noticeably stronger, and the problem went away. definitely left a bad taste. turns out my wifes open gunbuilder also doesn’t like their springs or followers, and uses gramms in the mag he supplies with the gun.

Bakerjd Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 All the people I shoot with use MBX guts and I haven't heard of any issues. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
