Why did you switch over to the cocker threads for the mag, i thought that the ball in barrel theory was proven on its accuracy?

The extremes use cocker threads the normal mags still do not.

They use cocker threads to allow you to lock the different breeches into place and because cocker threaded barrels are becoming an industry norm and are cheaper and more available.

There is some advantage to having a bore drop system instead of a breech drop system but I don't think it will make any difference to accuracy unless the breech and barrel are badly misaligned, in which case I think breakage problems would be the issue not accuracy...

I believe the mag is the only gun with a bore drop system currently and I don't see many complaints against the breech drop guns in terms of accuracy. There are in my opinion other more important factors when it comes to accuracy.

The advantages to the cocker threaded barrels far outweigh any disadvantages in my opinion.
