I don't need ACE, I have LEvel 10 and so do most of us. Horrible??? Is that why my Mag shoots just as well as a Cocker threaded marker???

if you want to set it straight, cocker threads were the only way that they were going to be able to do the module breech on the x-mag, and it caught on quick, going to the ULE bodies becauce people didn't have to spend $15 extra on each barrel just cause of the twist lock


and there was nothing wrong with the specs of the barrels, the LX bolt is around .687-.688" in diameter, compared to the old bolts, which were .683-.684" in diameter, which is a big difference when you have parts moving that fast

basically, the LX has problems fitting in the smaller bore twistlock barrels because it had a larger diameter, but that also helped create a better seal behind the ball on barrels that fit right, which slightly increased efficentcey

I just know that Level 10 fits all 6 of my Mag barrels. They are also different brands too.

i think thats what i meant bye not being produced to tight enough specs...

I always thought Angel threads would have been much more suited to the modular breach design of the Xmag...beefier threads, longer threading, etc.
