Longer .223 Tikka mag option

[waspocrew]

@Fireflyfishing , your pictures make me think that maybe the mag well in the krg stock is longer than in a Tikka stock. Maybe try putting some built up layers of tape or some epoxy on the rear of the mag to see if that helps. If it doesn't work you could sand the epoxy off.

Also, if you decide to go with a different mag I might be open to buying one from you.

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
