Curtis axiom proof 556 carbon feed issues

[DrSteam26]

Hello,

Was shooting a new Curtis axiom action chambered in 556. It’s in a masterpiece arms chassis and has a AI 223 mag. I can only individually load the rifle right now and it shoots well accuracy wise but every time I cycle the bolt with the mag In it the round pops out of the magazine and then it fails to feed into the chamber. Any recomendations to solve this issue? Thank you!

what magazine do you recommend ?

Accurate supposedly makes great .223 mags.

FYI: I don't shoot .223 from a bolt, so I'll let others chime in and confirm.

How many different mags do you have? Have you tried other mags?

Also keep in mind that most mags require tweaking to optimize feeding. Though your troubles sound like they could be beyond that.

I have only tried accuracy international so far I guess I can order MDT, magpul etc and go from there.

The old plastic aics mags are notorious for splitting and wearing out rapidly and letting go like you describe.
I use an accurate mag, it’s a 308 aics with a liner inside of it to close down to 223 sized stuff.
Can’t speak to if the Curtis will have issues with it but I assume if they sent you an aics to start with it will be fine.

This sounds similar to the accuracy international mag I have it’s an all metal exterior w the plastic insert. It seems like the spring is maybe too powerful ?

Sounds like you have an Accurate mag, not an AI mag. I thought AI only made a poly mag.

Not a AI mag.

Maybe post a pic of the mag you have...

My mistake it is an accurate mag

MDT mag along with adjusting the mag release and where it sits in the chassis eliminated the feeding issues
