[QUOTE="HawkinsPrecision, post: 2619669, member: 113324"] A couple things we'd like to add. The magazine rattle, when you place rounds into the magazine and have the bolt over the top this snugs up everything. There needs to be some clearance build into this system or when you go to release the magazine it will be extremely hard to get out. If you have an empty magazine in the rifle it will move. It will not with the magazine loaded. We get this question a lot. The feed lips and magazines are machined from a single piece of billet and the spring is specially made for those magazines to give the correct tension. There should not be any burs on the feed lips. We take great care to have no burs on our products. The very early ones had different springs with too much tension, which we have corrected. Allen key with the magazines is a good suggestion. Those are small screws We are currently working with this customer on this issue as well. We pride ourselves on using the heck out of the products. We have not had any issue with scratching brass. We'll look into how those angles are being machined. We find that happens on the stamped steel AICS style magazines as well from time to time. If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out.
