My NDR mag is metal and no burrs. It started out great and now it almost doesn't work. At first it was just one factory mag and then others started doing it. I took a couple apart (bit of a pain) and didn't notice anything. I thought they would be full of lead residue or something.
They just don't seem have the required nose up orientation. If I try to force it closed the bullet will get a notch pressed into the bottom from the edge of the chamber. Not all the time but pretty frequently.
Is yours in a different stock than factory? Mine is in a krg, wondered if that plays a part
I have not intentionally moved it but I have taken it out of the stock a few times and may have bumped it. Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try that.
It does have some adjustability, but not much. I have 2 of those mags that never worked properly in my T1X that is now sold. $220 in sunk cost.
When I went to check last night of course it fed fine in the house from all my magazines. I did loosen the magwell and push it as close to the chamber as possible so I will see if the issue ever comes up again.
Seems to feed fine now. Shooting pretty well too, at least for me. All CCI Standard Velocity. I hadn't checked the action screw torque before this and setting them both at 30" pounds seemed to help.
I shot these groups then hit four shotshells at 150 yards with six rounds in a breeze so I'll take that.

Pretty plain and boring but here's a picture after installing it in its new Bravo stock to help keep this thread going.
Torqued the action screws to 50" lbs. so I will see what sort of results that yields. If anyone has any particular luck with specific torque values with this setup feel free to share them.
I don't imagine it could possibly shoot any better in this stock but it makes for a better practice rifle for my centerfire Tikkas in KRG stocks.

I've had my T1X for a year or so now and finally decided to try some better ammo in it and SK Standard+ was really the ticket. I had only been shooting CCI SV with pretty decent results. I just got my new HuxWurx Flow 22 Ti so figured I'd test it with some good ammo. I plan to do some testing at 100 yards this weekend.
