Ruger American Gen 2 experiences

[Paulyester]

I misspoke, I actually shot the gun this weekend, it is not a metal magazine. But it’s the Ruger 10 round AICS pattern, and it shoots very well in the Trybe chassis.

Thinking of picking up a Ranch in 5.56 but it comes with the 10 round mag. Do yall know if there's a more compact mag available for it? I don't really care for how far the 10 round sticks out of a compact rifle.

then you need to convert it to rotary's, or choose a different rifle.....

So I recently picked up a ruger american gen 2 6mm creed for my wife and kids. Have not shot the rifle yet, but I have been tinkering with it, getting it all setup and ready to go. I finally got my scope mounted, timney trigger installed, and got my CB muzzle brake installed for my suppressor. I am excited to see how the rifle shoots.

I am planning to take it out and shoot it this weekend.

Last night I noticed an issue, wondering if anyone else has ran into this?

Last night I decided to load the mag up and see how the rifle feeds. Until now I have not actually chambered a round in the rifle.

The issue I noticed, is when I insert a full mag into the gun with the bolt closed, then try and open the bolt to feed a round. the bottom lug on the bolt hits the shoulder on the case and will not allow the bolt to open all the way. It actually cuts a pretty good divet into the shoulder of the case if you try and work the bolt back and fourth. If I remove the 1st shell from the mag, then the gun seems to feed just fine on consecutive rounds, I only notice it on the first round with a full mag.

This isn't really something I want to have to screw with on the mountain. I plan to reach out to ruger, but figured I would see if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a simple fix.
