AW magazine tuning

[George of Lydda]

Trying to set up my Terminus Zeus to run AW magazines. Having some difficulty with feeding. Can’t tell if it’s the stock/bottom metal not allowing the magazine to insert far enough of the feed lips being too wide.

Anybody who has been successful with running AW mags in a 3 lug Remington clone, can you provide a picture or two showing the round presentation from the back of the rifle with the bolt removed (example picture in case my description is poorly written). I would greatly appreciate it.

The lug orientation on a Curtis or Zuess actions is two down 1 up. An AI action and the new CDG is 2 up one down, the one lug down picks up the rounds better out the mags.

I get that but people run AW mags in the Zeus and I’m just looking for input from those people to see if I can get there. It’s the action I have to work with.

I can’t help with the Zeus specifically.I run aw mags in two lone peaks with dasher and bra and a CDG 22Bra.Your going to have to open back of feedlips up enough to see middle of primer for bolt to strip a round.Measure front and rear of feedlips with a caliper and make small changes ie .010 or snce you figure it out write the dimensions down

Okay middle of the primer. Thanks. Issue I have right now is if I open the feed lips up the magazine won’t seat. But I’ll keep tinkering

You're talking see the middle of primer exposed when viewing magazine from rear, correct?

 

[Pav67]

Yes middle or slightly less.On the fuzions it’s the bolt nose that strips rounds.If bolts going over and not pushing rounds forwards they need to sit higher
