Gents, wondering if any of ya’ll have encountered binding (like locked up solid) issues when cycling a Mossberg MVP.308 rifle. Cycling the bolt to eject the spent case locks this rifle up tight, depressing mag release and wrenching/rocking out the mag in order to eject spent round is the only way to free up the action. It was a common issue with the .223/5.56 model that Mossberg was willingly happy to rectify. With the .308 model not so much, they are either unwilling or can’t solve these problems. They admitted they are aware of the issues and I quote “have no immediate plans in the future to offer up any repairs or upgrades from the factory”.
New rifle, no help from the factory. Hmmmm. Happens with any and all cartridge types, bullet designs, original OEM mags as well as (NIB) GI issue M14 mags which was the precise reason I bought it. Anybody out there know of either a solution or reputable smiths than have some experience with this rifle as well as this particular problem? Appreciate your time.
