Cannon Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Maxus and SX3 are pretty much the same platform with a few minor differences. My SX3 cycles absolutely everything regardless of case length and load etc. Trade the Maxus in for one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Cheers for all the reies guys! I'll stick to the 70mm cartridges As above, stick with 70mm as per the manual. You're putting carts through the gun that are stated as not compatible and talking about sending it back, that'll just be embarrassing. Although Eley Firsts for example (at 67mm) are fine through mine. 100% failure on 65mm carts, 100% success on 67mm, 70mm, 76mm & 89mm and at 24grm and upwards. And as for the front sight/bead, i got ****** off with those light pipes bending and failing out as you describe, i replaced it with screw in bead from eBay (if you're interested it's a 3mm thread). It was more that the speedload was jamming that was bothering me. Got a few birdies with it yesterday so I'll just crack on with the supreme game.

Markio Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well from your original post and others it seemed it was a cycling issue that was bothering you. so ok, from one other post you mention that the speed load was a problem. Well if that's got anything to do with the cart length i'd be surprised. Anyway, there a knack to it, if you thumb in a cart and allow it latch with the carried still pushed up the it won't load/flick up into the chamber, instead you have to use the recess in the carrier to allow your thumb to slot into that recess so when the cart is pushed into the mag you can let the carrier drop back to it's normal resting position and the cart can then fall behind the carrier and be pushed into the chamber.
