Kimber HS mag issues

[rmist]

I have just received some Kimber HS 22 mags and when closing the bolt it jams every time. This is with 5 new Kimber mags. I have 5 older ones that look exactly like the new ones and they don't jam at all. I can't see any difference between them. Has anyone else had this problem ??
Thanx again,

Does anyone have a Kimber Hunter Silhouette .22 rifle ?

Look at the followers on your old mags. Take a new one, look at the follower. More than likely the bend in the follower will differ some. Take the new one apart and bend the follower to match as close as possible. Reassemble and try it. Most of the new mags will feed the bullet into the top of the chamber, and the angle has to be changed to put the bullet into the chamber.

I no longer have my HS but when I got is several years ago only one of the two mags worked. I took them apart and sat them side by side. Turns out the mag that did nor work had the follower in backwards. Turned it around and never had a feeding problem again. Take on of you older mags apart being sure to leave everything oriented the same and compare it with the new mags. I am going to bet you will find the difference easily.

Good luck, Paul
