Longer .223 Tikka mag option

[Fireflyfishing]

Since these are printed, it would seem easy enough for them to tweak the file and build up that area of the mag a bit. They'd probably need their own Echo to do this (not sure how popular it is either, so may not be a problem that they see worth solving).

He bought one. Work in progress.

It’s already been said but Adam’s customer service is great. I had issues with the older green follower deforming and he sent me replacements right away. I own these and the waters and prefer these even though you need to source your own spring.

I shot with the ascension mag a lot more yesterday. I noticed that I occasionally get a round that hangs up for a fraction of a second when cycling. I'm 95% sure it is the case mouth hitting the front mag lip as I'd mentioned earlier. If I were to try to cycle the bolt gently, I think it may be a problem. But since I was running it like I meant it, it was more like a solid "bump" when going through that portion before the cartridge exited the mag.

Does anyone have any suggestions for solutions? Maybe filing a bevel into the front mag lip edge so that it's not a 90* angle the case mouth hits?

I would think a little bit of filing would remedy it.

Adam should have an echo stock delivered tomorrow. He’s also getting a standard stock to start the process of building cheek risers.

Standard Tikka stock?

I was asked about this issue. I got my gun out and the bullets hit the feed ramp and start raising before the case mouth would engage the magazine.

I’ve sent him a t3 stock to work with to build cheek risers.

Is that with a certain COL? I forgot to mention, I was shooting 2.26 col rounds... Perhaps a longer col wouldn't do what mine did

Just some 55 fmj factory loads I have in hand.

I have a video but no clue how to post it

Not sure if you can do video directly on here. I think you might have to do YouTube and a link.

No worries. I'll cycle some while watching the port to see if I can spot it

Hello Everyone,

I made an account here on Rokslide and I appreciate everyone’s response to the product. I am currently working on revisions to make this work in the KRG Echo stock and will update everyone (and a youtube video update) when I have the kinks worked out. I do appreciate everyone’s support.

Welcome. You might consider a sponsorship here. Lots of Tikka folks.

@AdamAscensionIndustries,
Welcome to the ‘slide! There are many of us Tikka lovers here. Myself and others have told others here about your mags. I need to order one.

I ordered two magazines from Adam and just wanted to say how great he was to deal with. Had a shipping delay so he tossed in an extra mag kit even though I told him it was no problem. Found this thread after experiencing the same issues with the KRG echo so looking forward to what solution is found. Awesome product and a great guy!

I forgot to mention, I used an Ascension mag for 75gr bthp at 2.26col for 75rds or so last weekend. I didn't have a single hiccup. It seems to work just as well as the factory mag so far.

There goes the neighborhood!

No dog in the fight. Adam’s mags are all we use. I can actually load into the lands and still feed without impediment.

Sold my Waters Rifleman and MT.

Great to see you on the 'slide @AdamAscensionIndustries ! Love your CS and the 3 mags I have so far. If you ever figure out a cost effective solution for springs please be sure to post on RS, I'm sure I speak for a bunch of us when I say we'd be interested. I for one cannibalized my factory medium mags' springs and would like to replace them.
