Default CVA MAgbolt owners?

Just opened the box to my 1st ML, a Magbolt 150/26 .45. Per the instructions, the nipple should be removed by inserting the slotted end of the supplied wrench into the receiver however I can not get this end to engage. The screwdriver end does engage and allow removal of the breech plug. What am I missing?

Also, I noticed the ramrod fits rather loosely inside the forarm, any suggestions?

Thanks again for the feedback!

I have the same setup with a 22" barrel. The mail end of the wrench removes the breechplug. The ramrod on mine moves out an inch or two each time I shoot it, but I haven't let it bother me. I have not really found a combination that the gun likes, however, I did take a doe with 92 grains of T7 and a 275 grain powerbelt this fall. The power is certainly there, though I limited myself to a shortrange shot.

Let us know if you find a good load combo.

I just bought a Magbolt 150 from Bass Pro. Mine is .50. With the ramrod, push it till its flush with the muzzle. I had to take mine apart to figure this out. Up to then it would just fall out on its own. I really like the Power Belts combines with Pyrodex pellets.
