if you can please do @ 100 at least a few groups.. 100 generally takes a lot of variables out and shows primarily harmonic shifts ~ waiting fingers crossed.. I'm on my 3rd MS and have the Labradar, but would love to have just one..
Very first thing I'm doing when I get it is three five shot groups @ 300 in a row. 1) Naked barrel 2) Barrel mounted Magspeed 3) Non barrel mounted Magspeed
I've seen so much back and forth on this topic, I guess the only way to find out is test it myself. Also interested to see if there is any discernible variance in MV, ES, SD between barrel mounted vs rail.
Sure why not
3rd MS??? Need to hear the story behind that. Bad units? Shot the sensor?
Mostly because I am a freak I guess...
I have played with or owned so may types, over the years. I shoot a lot of calibers some with both solids and conventional. The money chrono's have saved me is worth every penny.. I can do a OCW/Ladders combined if I shoot over a chrono and just get the job done in far few rounds. The MS has an issue in this regard. Maybe the thread is onto something..
In recent years, I almost aways seem to have 3 types at any one time. An optical of some sort, the more recently started adding the Magnetospeeds when they showed up and then usually something I seem to be testing or just the newest option from acoustic to the Labradar.
2 were sold of as I upgraded. The third a duplication of one I sold when I had just the Labradar and an optical... and found I missed the MS in my kit.
From Data On Personal Equipment (DOPE), load development to dignosing problems such as a sudden change in vertical or dispurtion the chronos can be a real shortcut. I am not saying they substite real world drop.. I still drop confirm everything.. But I have just about burned up a barrel (with about a 900 rd life) before I ever found the load.. Turns out had I been shooting over any chrony I most-likely wold not have found the issue and not started with a fresh barrel/
To date, I have not found the one unit for everything solution.. I hate that the MS might not fit on some weapons systems or creates POI influence.. yet I keep getting the damn things.. I guess that says something both bad about me and the good about them LOL

^^ The mounts I posted on the MagnetoSpeed Adapter thread have worked nicely........https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...-equipment/6571516-magnetospeed-adapter/page2..........
but I was tinkering with some different fasteners to use at pivot Point A. Said fastener obviously allowed too much inward rotation on recoil !!
Ordered another bayonet last night.
Tyler,
I pre-ordered one. Any ETA on shipping?
Parts are back from anodization. Waiting on foam, but should be shipping out next week!
Hi Tyler,
Just received the mount. Must say, excellent communication throughout whole ordering process. Packaging was top notch, great finish on product, and also nice underpromise/overdeliver on shipping timeframe
Quick question on the mounting bracket provided in the kit that attaches to the magnetospeed base - I don't have any screws for the two holes, just the locking screw/thumb nut on the end of the strap. Is the idea to use that existing locking screw/cap on the strap in addition to another screw to lock down the stainless extension rod? Or do I need to just buy two additional screws to lock down the plate? If you could provide thread pitch for those screws, would appreciate it.
Edit: Just got back from Lowe's. Figured out screws are 10x32. Not going to work with the strap screw. Threw some 1" stainless screws w/ nylon locking washers on there for now. If you guys offer anodized cap screws at the right length, would be interested in getting some.
Now gotta get out there and do some testing!
I'm sorry, you're saying for $125, you had to source your own hardware?!
Well yes I did, but its possible those screws originally came with the Magnetospeed base, and I've lost them somewhere along the way (not sure). The mounting plate they provide does match up to the base perfectly.
And from what I'm seeing, it's very short. On an AIAT with 26" barrel, if there isn't a spigot mount, there's no way it would reach unless I'm not seeing something.

But at what point does the rod become too long and not as stable as the magnetospeed should be?
Just got out to shoot it a little on my 24" 223 Wylde barrel. I was shooting factory 77gr SMK going about 2850fps out of a 1:7.5". It was about 60 Deg, 6000ft ASL, 24.5 inhg. I had the MS mounted on the bracket at the 3:30 position on the barrel. That is just slight below center on the right side. I was shooting off of a bench which isn't my norm and rushed a bit. Additionally, there was some dillhole next to me with an AR15 that hated ammo and was trying to get rid of as much of it as possible, as fast as he could.

I promise it wasn’t me.
Yep, 100yd indoor, about 8 minutes from the house.
None of those are with the MS strapped on. You have to remove the strap to mount the bracket. I already know what the effect of the MS is. I just wanted to see if there is any truth to this idea about the gases disturbing the bullet.
Does Magnetospeed already offer a molded rail mount with no adjustment for pistols?
They have a direct pic rail mount: https://store.magnetospeed.com/products/v3-rail-adapter
Got mine and really like it. My only advice would be to offer a longer rod as a choice. My AXMC with 20" barrel, 13" hand guard and 9" suppressor, the rod simply isn't log enough to get the MS to the end cap. I am going to have to find a rod that is longer somewhere.
That's a good point. I have a 26" 6.5 barrel on my AI and not sure if this rod will extend all the way out when I have my suppressor on it either?
With the rod it came with i can tell you with certainty it wont.
The rod that comes with the Magneto Mount is the length it is to not impede function with shorter setups. With a 20"+ rod, set all the way back for a short barrel, you'd have it coming back right in front of the action, etc.
That being said, we have rod couplers and extensions available for longer barrels, and it's also just a 3/8" steel rod, something you can get very cheap at any hardware store if you want a custom length.

Why not just offer a longer rod and let people cut down if needed?
Less hassle to cut down a rod then making most people a) go to the store and buy another rod or b) spend more money on a coupler.
