Anyone come up with a fix for X Bolt magazines?

[daw]

Love my X bolt in .308 apart from the very poorly designed rotary magazine. The spring is simply too weak and does not push up final two cartridges.

Anyone sorted this problem please?

Gifted mine - bought another Tikka

Why I still have my venerable Abolt!

Browning themselves state not to disassemble the mag', even though it has an accessible screw at the back. My thinking would've been to do just and give the spring an extra turn, but apparently they're next to impossible to get back together. I find this hard to believe to be honest

Never had any issue with mine.

There are a couple of videos showing how to reassemble the magazine but you can't give the spring an extra turn unfortunately

I never experienced any misfeeding issues with the 2 magazines I had with my X-Bolt .270 - they went with the gun.
