Thought I would post this for the benefit of those who are interested, and will try to keep things updated.
I recent purchased the latest version of the MT 223 Tikka magazine. At first, it fed flawlessly. I had one hiccup within about 100 rounds. Then, it started having issues frequently around 130-140 rounds. Normally it’s the last round tilting back, and not capable of being picked up by the bolt head. Sometimes it happens to the second or third round. I contacted MT about the issue. He was very quick to respond. I told him what was happening. He said they did switch anodizing companies, and the previous one had a rougher texture that could be a little more “grabby” on brass. He wasn’t sure which anodizer mine was from. He said to disassemble the mag, clear it from debris, and then oil the contact surfaces. I did so, but it didn’t help at all. I replied to him with my findings. He replied quickly and said the follower shouldn’t be able to tilt like that, and CC’d the shipping department on our email, asking them to ship me a new mag. Hopefully the new one is free from issues. I will get some rounds on it, and report back on this thread. Just wanted to be open as to its function so others can see some data for themselves about a potential issue or the quality of customer service. So far, they’re taking good care of me.
