[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1612796, member: 77536"] Not at all a fix to every problem, but it looks to me like the feed lips on your magazine box are opened up a little too much. Pull the bottom metal and mag out and carefully, with pliers, bend the lips in a little bit on each side. This will hold the cases lower and also hold better alignment when feeding. I think some of your scratches are from the bolt riding over the case that is still in the mag while trying to feed one in. Sometimes takes several tries to get it tuned in but I think you can at least fix your feeding issues by doing this. [/QUOTE]
