baldie Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Try going to a CNC manufacturer with an idea. Then pay for their time inputting that into a machine. Add the materials and an absolute bare minimum of an order of 50. Then have a custom spring made [usually 1000 ] and also a follower cnc,d. Add to that the cost of coating . People do this for the good of their health you know. £125 is a very fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinDrift Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 We're expecting these to hit the fields / ranges in the next 7-10 days once the final test results are in. How were the test results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet flint Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Money is burning a hole in my pocket!,,, .204 sounds like it works? Pm me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Disorder Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 How were the test results? Very good, we're ready to hit the go button! This last round of testing was focussed on spring tension and we seem to have nailed it now. Money is burning a hole in my pocket!,,, .204 sounds like it works? Pm me! Yep, .204 Ruger works really well too. Independently tested by two different users in the field. So today saw delivery of the final packaging, some rather neat foam cut-outs and matching die cut boxes... And here's a couple of shots of them on test. So everything is good to go, we're just waiting on the batch to return from the finishers, which should have been yesterday......... watch this space...... For those of you who have pre-ordered we'll also be including a nice hex driver to make stripping and reassembling the magazine a two minute job.

SpinDrift Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Woohoo. I am probably a bit more excited about this than I should be! No more fumbling around reloading or swapping mags in timed comps and I don't need to butcher my stock to take an AI mag.. oh, and then there's the extra OAL. I might actually be able to gear near the lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 If you need anyone else to test and review one of the magazines I'd be happy to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 If anyone wants a touchy feely and local then that are more than welcome to try mine for a while. Or if your down at severnside on last Sunday's of the month then I'm always there, come have a chat a play. Since I first pushed the black mag into my 223 I can honestly say I will not be using any of the Tikka ones again. You know when you get something and its just 'right' well, that's what I felt about the black mag when I first got my hands on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Disorder Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 We've received the magazines back from the finishers so a QA inspection and assembly and we'll be shipping this first batch in a day or so. We assembled one this afternoon and tried it in a T3X Lite and it's a perfect fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Disorder Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 All assembled today and ready to start shipping out tomorrow. If you've pre-ordered you should have yours for the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW58 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 They certainly look very well made - for future runs would it be possible to get the screws anodised/cerakoted/whatever to match the magazines ... ... ... just a suggestion to improve appearance.

We've actually got black steel bolts too if you'd prefer a step away from the stainless look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - just a point of interest from me, all three of our T3s have AICS-compatible chassis systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Disorder Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 ah now I see why these are soooo expensive,comes in a nice box And with a spare bolt and a hex wrench! We think these are great value for money considering the time, materials and added features. The many people who have purchased them seem to agree too The .308/.243 version is starting next week, we hope to have it out in test by the end of August, so watch this space for more details.
