So Kickin got out his dremel and made the magazine fit. But it’s a dodgy magazine and the follower jams down. Not worried about that. It happened with the last accurate mag I bought and delta tactical sent out a new spring and follower right away.

But. It doesn’t engage solidly. It clips in so it won’t fall out but wobbles around and won’t feed a round if it isn’t wobbled to the right position.

Also bolt won’t go back far enough to pick up a round. He doesn’t want to machine it in case it isnt safe and I leave a bolt in a paddock.

Luke has a bolt stop in stock. I’ll call in there for him to fit it tomorrow and get a second opinion on whether this after market bottom metal can be made to work.

If not I need the trigger guard and magazine housing from a standard t3 stock to go back to the t3 mag.

I just Sold a T3 still stock

I’m a slow learner. I will admit he told me to use the standard T3 trigger guard and magazine housing

Glen I think this rifle is already number two out of 12 and could get promoted. It’s a joy to shoot. I’m gonna try poke a whole in something with fireforming loads tonight IF I get a chance as I was last nights shooter
