MT 223 Tikka magazine experience

[Pickettpuncher]

Probably a dumb question, but do the factory Tikka 223 mags not work? I’ve not had a Tikka in 223 so I have no idea.

The cartridge length is very short in the factory mag. So if you reload, you’re stuck to book length. Bullets like the 75eldm won’t work unless you load them long.

I checked the thread on 24 hr campfire about the Ascension mags. He’s found a spring supplier, and looks like mags will be $55 or $60 with a spring. That’s a deal in my book since they have been awesome for people

I've used them very little but the tikka factory 223 mags seem to be less than great from a reliability standpoint in addition to being COAL constraining. Have not had similar issues with tikka m+ mags.

Tikka .223 6 round magazine issue

I recently purchased a Tikka .223 and an extra six round magazine for it. The six round magazine seems to have an underpowered spring. In my garage testing, it will only feed the first three (maybe four) rounds. After it has cycled the first three rounds, the bolt slides over the magazine...

I’ve had failures to feed with the Tikka extended mags but not the 3 rounders.

That is great news. These mags have been flawless for me, also no dog in the fight here, but they work well and now with a spring included it makes them the best option.

Update:
Received my replacement mag yesterday from MT. I cycled 168 rounds through it, and the only issue I had is what I think was a short stroke of the bolt. My other mag was already greatly malfunctioning at this round count, so looking good.
