Magnex ones are far better build quality mate than the LMF ones, I swapped mine over plus you get the studs on the Magnex one

I've heard Magnex have gone bust. Does this mean that once all the magnex stuff runs out thats it, no more pre-cats for us?!

the miltek one is good, they changed the design on them to stop the weld from cracking.

I am in the same boat, just about to purchase a precat to go with my Miltek system.

I have narrowed it down to the Magnex or the 70mm polished type. Is there much point in going for the 70mm type intead of the 63.5mm?

Thanks
