Has anyone had there mags buldge when they load them up with .308? I have noticed that mine do after 5 rounds off .300WSM, if it is out of the mag well. If i break open the gun, and load the mag with it installed i can load 10 rounds no problem. Any thoughts? Would cutting the mag spring down a little help this? Thanks, Mack |
| Sort of. I mean all 13 of mine bulge when loading up with more than 5 rounds but not with .308. My LR-308 lower is the basis of a soon to be completed .500 Phantom build and when I load more than 5 of those into the mag (it holds 8 total, 9 if I push real hard) if I bump the mag on the floor plate the mag swells and will not drop free. If I push the rounds down into the mag like I am trying to put in another cartridge but don't, and release slowly-unlike the bump-the swelling goes away and it will drop free again. That is one reason I keep begging CP to make us some SS LR-308 mags. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts those suckers wouldn't swell! |
