What would you do to the magazine ?You can only make it ramp faster with magazine mods. Being a mag fed rifle it doesnt hurt anything really
Open the front of the mag lips so the cases will sit at an upward angleWhat would you do to the magazine ?
I did do that a few days ago. Maybe it wasn’t enough for itOpen the front of the mag lips so the cases will sit at an upward angle
yea I know they are cosmetic. But I’m a little ocd lol. Its a little bigger dent than the pictures appear. Grendel brass is hard to come by is like to try and be easy on itThat is most likely caused as the round is fed from the magazine. You could blunt and polish the back of the the upper teeth on the barrel extension; The bolt headspaces on the front of the extension, so the back is a non-critical area. As long as you remove a minimal amount of metal you won't compromise the extension. The dent is strictly cosmetic, so you could also choose to ignore the dents.
I don’t believe the magazine hit it, the bullet hitting the extension didYES THAT IS NOT THE EXTENSION
that is a feeding issue
...but the magazine positioned the round so that it hit in a way that dented it. Some time back I ran into something similar with a detachable magazine for a bolt action. I did a little research, and bought a different magazine that totally solved the problem. They were plastic magazines that do not lend themselves to the kind of modification that metal ones do. This is because you have to remove material rather than bend it.I don’t believe the magazine hit it, the bullet hitting the extension did
Try bending the feed lips a little more ?? Get the bullet pointed more at an angle...but the magazine positioned the round so that it hit in a way that dented it.

Maybe he meant, he was going to get more serious with the fix. (more aggressive)What makes you think that I was kidding? Did you go back and reread what he wrote? I could not have said it any better.
I know you were. I meant I would get serious bending the mag and getting bullets pointed upwards. Through out this site you and dusty both have been extremely helpful to many people with many problems.What makes you think that I was kidding? Did you go back and reread what he wrote?
