Great to see you keep improving these, Adam! Really looking forward to getting two from you later this week! For the gen 2.5 is the deformation point still 130 degrees Fahrenheit? Not that I plan on testing the limits but would be good to know.
I’m not Adam, just a guy that’s been a part of the process. I’ll ask him, but I would say yes.

Got with Adam. Temp is now 180 degrees. He said these are more durable than the earlier models and improved properties as well.

Any info on springs?
When I corresponded a coue if days ago with Adam he mentioned he is still working out the bending. For now you have to use your spring.
To my knowledge this is still true. He did get a quote on springs, and it was a huge investment. I don’t remember the specifics but he had to get a minimum amount of pieces, but that number was kinda high.

I’d read the same a couple weeks ago. Didn’t know if anything has changed. Thanks.

Be advised, you need to cannibalize the spring from a Tikka magazine.

But I hear Adam is working on sourcing springs.

As I’m getting my first T3X .223 soon, this makes this mag less of a bargain as I have to buy factory mags as well to make these work. Not ideal, but there’s not many options in this niche.

Understood.

I bought used mags off the classified and stole the springs. Still a better deal than MT or Waters.

And no, I have no dog in the fight.

Just use the factory mag spring since that box is pretty useless unless you use ar length ammo, which means that mag isn’t needed
