I just wanted to start by saying that the rimx was by far the hardest action to make a working mag for!
Lessons learned:
1) Spring pressure is crucial. We found that too much spring pressure was causing the rounds to pop up too fast and unless you run the bolt fast it jumped in front of the extractor. Solution was to simple make it a 13rd mag instead of a 14rd mag like the vudoo guys.
2) Angle was more crucial lol. The new feed lips are a total 180 in the sense that before we relied on the material flexing to feed smooth and now we changed it to an injection so it's solid and repeatable. The rimx needs a consistent angle every time or it doesn't have a hope.
3) People drop mags WAY more than I thought. The printed mags were always getting broken and I couldn't believe people always dropped them. The new mag has billet baseplate, billet latch and the same material as a PMAG for the body.
