Yes that was my opinion too however i was not that direct.
Just thought i would bring it up in case someone else had those C S A mags and had not noticed the issue.
I believe it would be the case on every Tracker on the road in Aus. Sobering thought?
I might advise Trakka and see what they say ??
Basicly there is approx 2 threads into the hex past the washer max.
Regards Pete
