AICS mag problem

[Tikkat1x]

Feed lips too wide at the chamber end. I'd try a different brand, the polymer looks like its weakened/softened, splaying the feed lips.

Metal would be better.

i think steel is the way forward dont you just love rifle mags uk, never f all in stock, that you want,

These are loaded with 1, 2 and 5 rounds. Your second photo looks to me like the round will jump out of the mag before the bullet enters the chamber, hence mis-feeds.View attachment 473158View attachment 473159View attachment 473160

ill swap yours for mine
looks like you didnt attack yours with a angle die grinder for 10 mins,

Plastic AICS mags work fine. I've put thousands of rounds through them. Yours looks like it's been hammered, so it's now fubarred.

You've had the option to try but we've just demonstrated the point that a picture paints a thousand words. You might be best with a metal one and keep it away from your tools.

Try magpul ones. I have 2 (5 and 10 end) and both feed fine using both 243 and 308 into a rem700 and a Winchester 70 coyote.

well 1 attempts to heat it with boiling water, 2 with a blow torch i use for annealing brass, and it still hasn't stayed where it should, so got the lips dripping, (no jokes please)
and folded them over a tad, ill give it ago later

@Bones Had (yes had) a steel magazine which did not feed in his straight pull in .308 it looked like it had been sent to yourself for fixing
Ian I can fix in at mine! Ground a piece of steel with the same radius as his rounds so it fitted up in side the magazine and dressed the tabs back to shape (like a form tool) took about 15mins from grinding the shape to finished (or less than 26 posts)

I kept it as you never know

Post a photo of the mag after all this. We've seen the before photo so you've got nothing to lose

It’s not pretty by any stretch of the imagination.
But it’s just fed 20 rounds seamlessly
Happy to fix anyone else’s
