Brink Excursion Vudoo Magazine Attachment/Extension

[Arethustra]

Has anyone run these on their Vudoo mags? Was thinking about picking up some for my mags but wanted to see what the user reviews were like before dropping the $$$.

BRINK EXCURSIONS Vudoo Gunworks Magazine Attachment

BRINK EXCURSIONS has worked hard on bringing a competition level Vudoo Polymer Magazine Extensions to our customers. The idea blossomed from the fiddling around with mags on the clock. We engineered our mag extension to help save time while maneuvering with removal of the magazine, finding...

Poly mags extensions are so easy to print that it just comes to your personal preference on looks.

I use the extensions from blamm enterprises with no issues. You can get a 2 pack for the same price.

I ordered a set of Brink Excursion and MKM mag extensions so I guess I’ll be able to write up a comparison and a review of how well they work for any interested Vudoo owners.

 

[Arethustra]

The MKM mag extensions came in the mail and they’re pretty slick - I set them up in the +5 configuration (removed the stock follower and assist and using the new one provided).

Here are my first impressions and initial thoughts on the MKM version:

Pros:
- Great fit and finish
- +5 rounds (vs +2 with the Brink version)
- Good color match
- Easy install
- Reuses existing spring
- Adds a bit of weight to the mag

Cons:
- Semi-weird “caboose” bit with mag extension retention tab is a bit off-putting in terms of overall aesthetics

Just waiting for the Brink extensions so I can set a mag up with their version and do a fit and finish comparison as well as a side by side test on function at the range.

What kind of chassis or stock are you running? I was reading a review on MKM's web site that the extension does not work well with the KRG Bravo stock mag release. I really like the Bravo. I have one on my 6.5 Creedmoor and my NRL22 rifle is a Bergara in a Bravo that mimics it. I am currently building a Vudoo for ELR that will go into a XLR chassis. The XLR has a different magazine release. I was wondering how the part that sticks out at the bottom effects a mag release.

I’m running a MPA BA Comp chassis…will be testing this setup this week when I can get to the range. Also hoping to have the Brink version to test this week as well (damn USPS is late on delivering them).

Do you think there's room in the market for a 14 round mag? Not an extension, but I stand alone mag that holds 14 rounds?

 

[Arethustra]

Vudoo offers 15 rounders in Aluminum but I think you would probably have some takers for a polymer 14 rounder (15 would of course be better but 14 would work).

 

[Thesepaperwings]

Yeah I wasn't really sure. The metal mags are pretty stellar so didn't know if anyone would look twice at a 14 rounder lol

 

[Arethustra]

I prefer the poly, so I’d buy ‘em. Customer base of 1 FTW!

 

[Arethustra]

The L3i ones for the BMR look slick, I’d rock a version for my Vudoo.

 

[Thesepaperwings]

Something that's definitely being looked at. The adjustable mag catch and 14 capacity like the B14R mag.

 

[Arethustra]

If you need testers, deal me in! Happy to be a Guinea pig and provide feedback.

 

[Thesepaperwings]

Unofficially of course.....but I bet a vudoo design exists and samples are getting ready to be made....

Just got a chance to seat the test mag and try out the mag release…doesn’t seem to be problematic; fit is fine and the extra weight seems to help. Hope to get out to shoot this week and test out feeding, etc. — loaded the mag up and confirmed that I can get 15 rnds in the mag now though it was tight getting the last round in. Fingers crossed that the extension with the new follower they provided works as advertised.

Finally got a chance to get to the range to test out the MKM mag extensions (+5) and the short version is that they work pretty much flawlessly with my setup…no issue with fire, mag release or operation.

I built up 2 mags to test and will likely convert the rest if the Brink Excursion versions don’t show up soon (been a few weeks with no communication from them about ETA). At this point, I think the Brinks are a do not recommend.

Just an FYI, I also run the MKM extensions and had them fall apart twice during a match. Not sure what I did to cause it, but a piece of tape around where the two pieces connect fixed it.

Good to know…how long had you been using them before this happened?

First match it happened. I was only using them on a bench and a bit of dry fire practice.

Cheapskate precision will be listing a +4 vudoo extension in the next couple weeks, had three of us proofing them Saturday at our match. No issues at all in three different vudoos, should be about $20 each.
