[QUOTE="Flatlandcoaxer86, post: 2518196, member: 123185"] Thanks for the replys! With an untouched magazine, it feeds straight into the barrel, bout 1/4" below going into the chamber. I sacrificed one mag attempting to "adjust" the feed lips. I could not find a good way to precisely bend them. Not a good design. I could not find a happy medium as far as bending too much or not enough. Not enough, the result is the same obviously. Bending them enough to get the bullet tip up more either causes the tip to hit way above the chamber, or it loses the case and spits the round half way out sideways. Bending the feed lips enough to actually get the bullet tip to chamber causes the the rounds to be pointing way up just relaxed in the mag. All axis actions are the same length, 223-30-06, so that part is insignificant. Im using factory savage 223 magazines in a boyds prairie hunter short action stock. Ive been messing with this thing for over a month and man I am frustrated! I think I was overcharged for the barrel so I cant really afford to scrap the project. I have considered trying a short action savage like a 10,11, or 12 but even then, I tried to chamber a dummy round in my 11 223 and same result, hits way below the chamber. I could switch to aics mags on a 10 or 11 but I dont know if those mags are adjustable in any way since most are polymer. [/QUOTE]
