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.
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!!
International barrels is offering barrel nut vudoo prefits for adjustable headspace
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.
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.
Take "rimlock" out of the equation, window lickers will never understand something as simple as loading a mag properly.
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.
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...
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*.
Is it coated on the end? Mine is and I thought maybe that is why it’s not sticking.

*edit for clarification: if the groves go all the way to the muzzle on threaded barrels, like my Anschutz rifles have.
Didn't the chassis come with action screws? My MDT ESS did. if not, I'd call MDT or VGW.
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.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.
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%.
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.
