back to the mags ,can you explain please?
the feed rails on the mags are quite fragile, they get bent just a bit and the next round does not get in proper position to be picked up when the action is cycled, the ejector slide cover is a piece of plastic and is just there for looks, believe me, mine has thousands of rounds through it, it was my deer, groundhog, target, plinking truck rifle for a lot of years, its retired now but still would use it if I didn't have better stuff to use.
