Hi all,
I just got the Oryx chassis for my Tikka T3x set up. I have an MDT magazine, having hoped to avoid feed issues.
It's a 10-round magazine. Metal. AICS. Without a binder plate. .
The first thing I noticed is that I can't load more than 4 or 5 rounds in the magazine at all. They simply won't seat. It's like it's a 3 round magazine, not 10.
Second thing I noticed is it won't feed correctly. The rounds point angled down the feed ramp. I have to reach in the chamber and physically press the top of the rounds to get them to spring up and be able to feed. I tried adjusting the feed lips, thinking that might be the issue, but it doesn't appear to have helped.
Third thing I noticed is the rounds seem to be a long way away from the feed ramp. They will cycle with the bolt, but it seems like a lot of travel to the feed ramp.
Any experience with this or thoughts on how to correct it? I haven't had an issue like this before. I've really only encountered rounds seated low, and I adjust the feed lips and then they cycle fine.
I attached a video (gif since we can't upload video extensions) that hopefully shows a little of what I'm talking about.
