I have been running arc mags with zero issue. Aw mags don’t run in my action unfortunately. Aics mags work well also with even the magpul ai mags working reliably. It also boils down to what you have the action mounted in
I had now problem with my aw mags and my action was from the first batch. The only thing i had to do was trim down my mag catch in my mpa chassis until the mag lips didn't contact the bolt.
They do. I used that as well. Because of it I had to trim the mag catch in order for it to engage and secure the magazine.
considering a vector because i love my axiom. reading through this seems like a couple issues here and there. is this a case of large majority being just fine. then the few with issues posting? or are there inherent issues with Curtis and the Vector?
Not concerned with the AICS vs AW mags, i’ve got that down.
My question is more centered around the over pressure/ head spacing issues that i don’t see clear resolution with. And the occasional extraction/ ejection issues.
Love the Axiom and love the idea of the vector quick change barrel and the upcoming 22lr conversion.

Besides the poor CS and QA/QC during the manufacturing process, you're right, there's no real reason not to buy one.
Everyone I know that's had a Curtis has moved on to something else. The problems are common enough that I personally wouldn't ever touch one and chance it, especially when the CS is poor. There are so many top tier actions out there, that I don't see any reason to pick a Curtis.
As far as their .22lr conversion, the fact that Curtis sponsored shooters are drooling after a Bighorn Rim-X should be a sign...
Finally got my rifle with Vector action from the preorder to the range today (back surgery has limited activity) and apart from the documented AW mag issue, it ran perfectly when I switched to AICS mag that I thankfully had in the bag. Praying I’ll have gotten lucky with the action as the rifle is a joy to shoot, kudos to Omar Alonzo for building it.
First round was a sighter after getting the scope mostly zeroed followed by four rounds in the same hole after a couple clicks up. My son is going to A&M tomorrow so I didn’t get to shoot it anymore once he saw what it could do and took over.

Thanks. Certainly hope so! That was with Hornady 6.5cm 140gr eld-m. Wish I’d bought the ones I saw in the PX last night for a great price. Didn’t because I already had a case and wasn’t sure how the rifle would like them. I’d also gone on a bourbon fueled 9mm component spending spree and was still just sober enough to not drop more coin!
Looool I love the spending sprees. Wife hates em. I'll tell her its perspective like everything...nice purse btw.....no reply.
I know this is a WAY old post but, does this mean that push feeding a 6 dasher is likely to have problems?
thanks
