Tikka magazine problem

[Tikkat1x]

This is a never ending excercise, I'd only do it as temporary workaround.

i have no doubt this is true

I had exactly the same issue with the factory mags for my .223 Tikka TAC A1. I ended up splashing out and buying WR magazines instead and they worked perfectly. However, I sold the rifle, so I'm stuck with 3 of the WR mags now!

I have a Tac A1 in 6.5 and. CTR in 223. The 6.5 required the mag mods (bend the spring and use a flat blade screwdriver to open up the slot in the rear of the mag slightly) About 1.000+ rounds later it hasn’t needed this doing again.
The 223 hasn’t needed any mag mods in about 650 rounds fired

I now have what seems to be (for now) 2 fully functioning magazines
