Just a couple notes if anyone is wanting to run a Hawkins Hunter 223 Flush Magazine
with a HNT 26 Tikka build.
1- The bump out on the back of the mag is about 1/16 too far down. A flat file to heighten the bottom of the bump out is necessary.
2- The feed lips on the mag are too thick. They will hit on the bottom of the action before the mag can latch in place. I took a grinding wheel and the file to narrow the outside of the lips so that it can fully seat.
3- This mag holds 5 rds, however it does so just barely with no movement downwards. When you try to install the mag with all 5 rounds and the bolt forward on the gun, it will not fit. The magazine will only seat in place with 4 rounds in it.
