[QUOTE="Gwine, post: 1871084, member: 65644"] Next step was to mark the bolt stop for trimming[ATTACH type="full"]185814[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]185818[/ATTACH] Once the bolt stop was trimmed to allow the bolt to stop just barely behind the mag box it was time to mess with feeding. I removed the firing pin assembly since I would be cycling live rounds. This is where I was most concerned about making a mistake. You don’t want to remove too much from here or you can have major problems. This took the longest time making small modifications and testing over and over till it was right. I used a small file, the small stone and then finished it with 500 wet dry paper. [ATTACH type="full" alt="F96B4E04-8A3A-422D-A4EF-F8415AA7C60C.jpeg"]185818[/ATTACH] Overall I am pleased with the finished product. It feeds my amax load and also the 150 Scirocco load both fast and slow flawlessly. My amax load was .045” too long for the factory mag, and now I have .050” of room to spare. I hope this is helpful for somebody out there. If I did it all wrong, I’m open to suggestions as I will be doing this on another rifle in the future. [/QUOTE]
