[QUOTE="Tim Behle, post: 52893, member: 523"] Or maybe I should have Titled this: [B]"How bad did I screw it up"[/B] It's been real windy here today, winds have been 30-50+ MPH since before dawn. Too windy for me to go outside. Boredom set in not long after I awoke. By late afternoon, I was getting cabin fever. One of my biggest complaints about my Model 70 classic has been that my two favorite bullets, the 162 Amax and the 180 Berger VLD need to touch the lands to shoot well. Problem is, the magazine didn't allow bullets seated that far out. So a little while ago, embolden with the help of Milwaukee's finest. I took a torch and screw driver to the magazine box, and removed the spacer from the rear of it. After some adjusting with some piers of the bent pieces that weren't supposed to get bent, and moving the spring to the rear of the magazine box. The rifle now feeds, or seems to feed properly. But just how important was that little spacer? If it wasn't needed, why did Winchester put it in there to start with? [ 03-29-2003: Message edited by: Tim Behle ] [/QUOTE]
