I bought on of the transluscent 25 round mags with the plastic lips on top, and have at least one jam if not more per mag. First off, it fits really tight in the well, as in you have to yank it out or shove it in. I was using cci standard velocity and federal bulk. I think the most frequent problem was the spent casing wasnt fully ejecting.
Do they normally fit that tight or did i get an out of spec one? The ten rounder that came with the rifle drops freely and no problems do far. |

Make sure the bolt isn't coming in contact with the mag. This would interfere with ejection as it would slow the bolt down. It sounds like the bolt doesn't have enough speed moving rearward to eject properly. I have several of these mags and have used them off and on through the years and they've never given me any trouble.
Is the gun new? May need break in.... Clean and lubed? |

The Butler Creek metal lip mags give me more problems than the "Hot Lip" mags. I think that changes from rifle to rifle. Quoted:

You are better off staying away from any mags with the plastic feed lips. The Butler Creek metal lip mags give me more problems than the "Hot Lip" mags. I think that changes from rifle to rifle. The metal lipped one are my favorite. I like them more then the ruger made ones. |
| use a marker on the rear of mag where bolt contacts it. There may be issues with bolt barely touching the mag. After the first plastic lip mag issue, i took a round / rat tail file and relieved the rear of the mag where bolt rides through. I also use silicone spray on the coil spring and inside mag body. No issues. Probably from the relief cut i did on rear of mag. |
