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.
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.
Well that's neat. Of course I always feel like what I have becomes outdated when a company does that.
Some better factory stock options and easier barrel changes would compete with CZ a bit better.
The only things I want to see changed is a match barrel option. A heavy weight 20-26" barrel would be a game changer.
I've not heard that rumor but interesting if true.
I was reflecting on what would drive them to update. The success of the CZ457is what came to mind.
This came out cause my bud purchased a T-1X at a gun show, then realized it had a ruined barrel. He was calling them at my suggestion to see if they would sell him a factory tube. The conversation didn’t go well, and that is when they made the statement.
Thankfully Shot isn't too far away, it'll be interesting to see what a new model would be.
The main issue with the factory T1x stock is it needs a lot of accessories right out of the gate: butt pad (to increase LOP), vertical grip, cheek riser.
I ran T1X for several years of matches, including an ACC and custom barrel. I always tell people to buy a CZ.
Yeah, I've rebarrelled my T1x recently. I tell people to go CZ457.
What specifically don't you like about it compared to the CZ? I initially bought mine because it was the only 60-70° bolt lift option available. Also I hated the razor sharp Savage magazines so the Tikka ones were a big improvement.
I get the thought process, but the idea of taking my centerfire rifle apart to put on a rimfire, then back to centerfire, re-assemble, re-zero and it's going to shoot exactly the same just makes me say no.
+1 I don't understand this fascination with bad ideas...
Don't know that I'd swap between them either, but expanding the available chassis choices, better magazine swaps and improved ejection all sound like wins to me.
If you like the factory stock and aren't planning on doing a full retard PRS build then the T1x is an excellent rifle.
Mine was never a real tack driver. Barrel changes suck. If I did not press downwards on the bolt handle the next round would point to the sky and jam, from day 1. With the aftermarket barrel, the last shot in the mag never feed cleanly. Always had to wiggle the bolt. After 20+ matches and 40-50K through it, I don’t miss it at all. I worked around all these things and did well, but I got tired of the drama.
T1X barrels need heat to melt the glue that holds them in and loosen the grub screws that were apparently tightened using nuclear powered devices while the barrel was heated to the temperature of the sun. The factory stock would feel fitting in a Savage. Once the glue is melted out, the receiver opening is never quite square again either.
