I recently installed a set of Lumley stainless pillars, action screws, and recoil lug in my T3x polymer stock. Since then, I've had some issues with magazine fitment, both with the stock plastic bottom metal and Lumley bottom metal.
This happens with both the factory bottom metal and the Lumley: the factory magazine takes a bit of effort to seat. I have to push pretty hard on the front of the magazine to get a good click. Mountain Tactical mags won't seat at all. This occurs whether the action screws are torqued at a low of 45 in/lbs or up to 65.
My thought is the pillars need to be moved slightly to provide something closer to the factory spacing between the action and bottom metal. My thought was they need to be moved down toward the bottom metal ever so slightly to increase the space a bit. I was thinking I might try to fit a feeler gauge between the top of the mag and action with a mag installed, but I'm not sure there's really room to do it.
I'm not looking for any suggestions on trying a different stock, etc. until I get to the point where I've exhausted my options with this setup that I've already invested my time and money in.
What does the collective wisdom of Rokslide think?
