[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 310961, member: 3733"] My guess is that that the bottom metal needs to be inletted just a tad bit deeper so that the clip retainer is closer to the bottom of the action. Eliminating some of the free play by holding the box up to the bottom of the action. Thus allowing the magazine to come up high enough for the bolt to pic up the cartriges. This guy who sold the rifle, did he do the inletting for the action to stock fit? I seem to doubt that the parker hale action would be inletted by McMillian, but may-be I'm wrong. If you could make a spacer to force the magazine retaining box in the up position, that may solve the problem, without you having to do major stock alterations. Or call the guy back and see if he'll make it right. if you don't trust him, or if it's more than you can handle your self, find a good smith to take a look at it for you. [/QUOTE]
