Hi Everyone, I'll try do describe the issue I'm having.
I bought a AW cut Impact 737R LH action off the hide here (well, at least that is what the guy said it was cut for), a Manners PRS-MCS-TCS (gen 2 mini chassis).
I haven't modified the mag catch yet, but when I insert the mag the bolt ride completely over the round (6mm Creedmoor) and will not pick up at all (I was holding the mag flush/tight and trying to cycle it). It's just a hair off. It looks like the magazine fit perfectly flush to the action, but it won't pick it up. I also don't have any AICS mags to try with, until the one I ordered from brownells gets in.
My question is this. If it's supposedly cut for AW mags: 1. should I just try adjusting the feedlips on the mag, and 2. if that doesn't work, what next? I feel like "opening" the feedlips isn't the proper way to go about this.
I reached out to impact precision and am awaiting their response (I'm sure this isn't an issue with their action.) to see if they have any ideas.
If anyone has seen this combo and had issues, can you guide me in the right direction? I've gone through and search the hide and read a few things on mags/fitting/etc, and am not opposed to adjusting the lips.

- I assembled the entire gun, prefit barrel torque'd on to spec
- installed trigger/trigger hanger. dry fired, adjusted, all good.
- I just got some AW magazines, and these, are of course, giving me trouble.
