Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

[Sagittarius]

I predict Paul Parrot will have a video detailing the new mags very soon and look forward to it.
I like the look and features of the new aluminum mags and think they will be awesome.

 

[Cowpokey]

That could be the adjustment point as well? Could be a cam system to move the latch up and down? Seems overly complicated but after seeing how they do their 1911 frame (2-pieces? Really?) I wouldn't be suprised.

Vudoo isn't making those 1911s, they are just putting their name on them. Another company (that doesn't have name recognition) is making them.

Find what you can in match ammo and shoot.

Did anyone see the new for '23 magazines on FaceBook?
Do they remind you of anything?
5,10, and 15 round

Nice…as much as I love my RimX, if these were out when I was looking for an upgrade to my B14R, I would have gotten the Vudoo. I absolutely love the RimX magazine and these look very similar and will probably be of equal quality. I won’t be getting rid of my RimX but I think I will get a Vudoo now. The magazine just looks fantastic and I bet will be a hot commodity for some time to come. Nice job Vudoo!!

Mr. 77
Thanks for heads up. I checked yesterday afternoon and there was nothing. Same this morning. I'm still looking.
regards,

 

[Matt_3479]

maybe a lot of people went with RimX due to the prefit barells too, which would be nice for a V22 one day.

International barrels is offering barrel nut vudoo prefits for adjustable headspace

Now that I have my 360 shooting decently, I'm going to mess with success and change my chassis over from the Xray it's into a MDT ESS ( which is inbound). I've seen the VGW vids on how to fit their actions and mags but wonder if there are any other tips/advice from MDT clad Vudoo owners on how to minimize chances for mag related feeding/fitment issues ( and/or how to address them).

MDT's mag latch seems to be a perfect fit for the Vudoo mags. Never had an issue with MDTs chassis.

Mine is in an MPA BA chassis, I've had zero feeding issues...with the exception of my SiL loading a mag incorrectly.

That or loading the mag into a bag or barricade is what I've seen with friends or squad mates. The greyops or some other barrier seems to be the answer there. Not a dig on Vudoo, it's every .22, press on the magazine and feed issues are pretty much a guarantee.

 

[Rob01]

I made my own mag protector on my plate. This is mid production.

And this is done. Cost about $7 with two pieces from Lowes and some screws, JB weld and paint. Not pretty but works.

I have "loaded" my mag into barricades, maybe not enough to cause problems? I really don't know.

Outside the rimlock issue from loading them wrong it's been pressing them into something that causing a feed issue I've seen over and over (Vudoo, RimX, Begara, CZ, Tikka, Ruger, AR). Like anything is a matter of degree I guess, but best avoided by not doing it at all.

 

[Cowpokey]

Outside the rimlock

Take "rimlock" out of the equation, window lickers will never understand something as simple as loading a mag properly.

 

[Lastsaint21]

I have 2 vudoo’s now. One in an MPA and the new one in an ACC. The one in the ACC runs perfect. I like the MPA feel better but I run only the ACC in matches because it hasn’t let me down once. In the MPA they need to come up with a way that you can adjust the mags so they can’t move left to right. Front to back you can fix but the left to right you can’t and that causes the bullet nose to hit the extractor slots if you have the bag loaded. The mag protector will fix it though. All in all the Vudoo in the ACC has just performed better.

Bro, just go all ghetto and shim the inside the mag well of the chassis with a little gorilla tape or Velcro depending on the hotdog to hallway ratio. Worse case you just have to take it out.

Good to hear on the ACC. I suspect the ESS should have a similar mag well to action arrangement.
FWIW, I had to stick some 1/2" square Velcro patch's on the rear on my 10 round poly mags to get my 360 to feed correctly ( or at all really) in a KRG Xray. ( on the back, about 1/2 way from the catch shelf to the top edge. It runs 100% now when I do my part loading them properly. . I'm hoping to avoid having to do that in the ESS. I'll find out soon.


Thanks to all for your input.

 

[Trung Si Ma]

Both of my Vudoo's have been in and out of various stocks and chassis until I found the one that I like (JP APAC). I've never had a magazine issue, but I don't shoot PRS so I'm not loading into the magazines.

You know I am too OCD for that! I did try it with velcro and that worked for a while. The GrayOps does fix that though.

Fair...

 

[littlepod]

I had a piece of velcro on my mags to keep it rock solid and then found out that the little piece of velcro was causing some wax/lead to slightly shave everytime it went into the chamber. I removed the velcro, and now it's pristine. I've been shaving wax/lead for the past 6 months... maybe that's why my groups weren't as superb as possible.

Here's my breach face now after 350 rounds of Eley and Lapua -

Notice zero lower lip on the breach face of wax/lead build up. To get this done, basically I had the mag pushed up all the way, adjustable mag latch, and didn't do any sort of velcro fore or aft. For my XLR it has an adjustable mag latch. For the Hawkins M5 DBM on my McMillan it has the extended latch.

I only noticed this because I got a new McMillan/Hawkins combo from Vudoo and was like why is my breach face so clean, my XLR always has this slight build up...

 

[kbiss]

I have my vudoo in the krg whiskey 3 and it works great. I also have the mpa ba and I prefer the krg because it balances better with less weight.

 

[MdQT]

Just placed mine in the new MDT JAE and with the adjustability it’s rock solid. I will still run a mag protector from grey ops.

 

[Lastsaint21]

Something I have wanted to mention to see if anyone else has seen the same. It’s not a big deal at all just something different. My Vudoo with the threaded end gets a carbon build up that I have to clean off, I am sure it’s because the thread protector acts a shelf. The one that has just a target crown, I have yet to get any carbon off it, the towel is clean every time I try to clean it. You would think something would stick to that but it hasn’t yet.

 

[littlepod]

My unthreaded benchmark Vudoo gets carbon build up. I can see the groove pattern on the muzzle.

I haven't noticed much carbon build up with my non-threaded Ace barrel. I do get the same groove pattern you mention, but I get that with all of my 22s...threaded or not*.

*edit for clarification: if the groves go all the way to the muzzle on threaded barrels, like my Anschutz rifles have.

Is it coated on the end? Mine is and I thought maybe that is why it’s not sticking.

 

[littlepod]

I assumed that pattern was carbon. It wipes off super easy.

Probably a mix of carbon and lead...just a guess.

Mine aren't coated. Raw stainless.

Just picked up a vudoo 360 and mdt acc chassis. I can't seem to find my calipers for the past couple days and need to order some action screw bolts. Anybody know the length needed? TIA

Didn't the chassis come with action screws? My MDT ESS did. if not, I'd call MDT or VGW.
BTW, regardless of where you get them, be sure to check to assure they do not bottom out when installed. If they do, even by a few thousandths, it will reek havoc on your groups.

 

[Seasian]

It did but they seem a bit too long.

Or a file!

Adjusted easily with the use of washers

I was specifically told by MB to not use washers, that you needed to file down (adjust) the bolts. He did not tell me his reasoning, just said don't.

 

[littlepod]

You should use the action screws supplied by MDT. Not the ones that came with the Vudoo.

 

[Schütze]

I was specifically told by MB to not use washers, that you needed to file down (adjust) the bolts. He did not tell me his reasoning, just said don't.

Four aluminum chassis, all done this way. No issues at all. My reasoning is that I like to keep the chassis manufacture supplied bolts with the chassis. I don’t like to shorten them because I switch barreled action’s between chassis (center fire & rim fire). You need one washer anyway to protect the bore for the bolts and archiving correct clamping force. One washer available in different thicknesses works too….

Well, here's Paul Parrot on the new magazine and a couple more interesting offerings for 2023.

Thanks to X-Ring!

Another video from Kenny at Eagle Eye Shooting with Greg from VGW featuring the same great new products. Thank you, Kenny!

Just to close the loop on this..... I'm happy to report that I got the V360 installed in the new MDT ESS chassis this AM. I no longer need any kind of mag shim. Factory ( 10 round poly) mags fit snug with minimum movement. No adjustments or tweaking of any kind. Better than expected really. Feeding was 100%.

 

[ferch]

Just ordered a v3-60 barreled action, and Aero Precision's new chassis to put it in. Anyone hear or read any reports about vudoos in this chassis? It has an adjustable mag latch so I'm hopeful it'll work...

 

[Seasian]

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I emailed MDT and they are sending me out the hardware. On another note, I'm having issues trying to remove the pic rail. I removed the 4 screws from the top but that rail isn't budging.

They're pinned in place. After removing the screws, lightly tap with a small plastic hammer from each side at an upward angle. It'll come loose.

When reinstalling, tap the base all the way in place using the same hammer before inserting the screws. If you use the screws to seat the base all the way down on the pins you could break a screw.

 

[Thesepaperwings]

I think the new mags will help a ton of people and it'll be nice that all three options will be pretty far apart as far as cost. Standard poly $35-45, L3I 14rd $70-80 and the billet vudoo 15rd at $125-145

Unfortunately, more and more states are capping mag limits to 10. Some won't have the option.

 

[Thesepaperwings]

That's true. I know the L3I will have a California compliant mag soon but if the standard 10rd mag is 30-40 I'm not sure who is going to buy one with an adjustable latch for double.
