I think the 2x5rnd AR mags were a dumb idea long before the crypto 2x5rnds were ever an idea.
I would not be renewing at that range, i find rural ranges are best, and have a better sense of community and respect. Some of these ranges they act like they are your daddy
I've only ever been to a public range once, by invitation. I brought a 14" 590A1 to shoot skeet for fun. After our rounds the RO told me not bring that shotgun again as he thought it was a prohib because of length?? I never went back.
Fudds are killing their businesses, wondering why memberships are down and the population is aging out.
I think I know which range, has T and B in the name but I am just guessing and wont call it out incase I'm wrong.
Yup! They should have just done 5/5 uncoupled mags to begin with. Hopefully they release them soon
was it PoCo?
Just to clarify the range doesn't care if you Dremel out the mag well. They just wanted to make sure you were using the proprietary magazines as they have a lot of law enforcement officers who use the range and didn't want any confusion on the legality. I believe the wording was if you want to use pmags in it take it out in the woods. It wasn't t&b but nearby.

My friend just recieved his and we went to try it out yesterday. Full Crusader prebuild.
It couldnt fire more than 2 rounds without failing to feed, stovepipes, and failing to go into battery.
A forward assist would've been nice, as the thing did not go into battery all the way most of the time, which was resulting in a click and no bang. Frustrating first impressions.
I was not impressed personally and the bolt felt gritty to actuate IMO.
Serious question: Would an Aero Precision BCG help remedy this issue? Are the Crusader bolts just cooked?
Anyways guy was depressed the whole day trying to run it. Probably went though a good 200rnds trying to diagnose and break it in. Mind you, any gun that needs to be "broken in", using an AR15 bolt at that, is kind of a joke.
CA's track record hasn't been very promising with the Templar and Crux. I was skeptical of the Crypto to begin with.
I wasn't a fan of the mags. But thats not what this platform is for, anyways. If you catch my drift.

Definitely send that back to crusader. I mean I’m pretty sure that the bolts and bolt carriers that they use are from a third party supplier. It’s entirely possible that there is some issue with it that they can resolve. They don’t check every part that they receive from a third party. I’d give the warranty a chance before putting in a new BCG. It can be fixed I’m sure it’s a standard AR15 definitely can be fixed by Crusader.

My buddies pre ordered first batch crypto. Runs stanag mags, hit crown land and ran through a case of 1k pmc bronze last week. Not a single failure. Using all stanag and 458 socom and 50 beowulf mags. This thing runs so good, just like my atrs. Building one with a stripped receiver set would literally give you an ar15 if you did the magwell mod and used good guts. I highly suggest people who haven't yet, to grab one. Sure the ano is kinda #### and crusader sucks absolute shiii, but grab a receiver set and build yourself that ar15 you are all missing.
