Surgeon 591, what mags to run?

[Widowmaker300]

What mags are everyone running in there surgeon? Mines in mpa chassis and I’ve tried accurate mags and arc mags and they don’t feed good. I’ve been told order the arc follower upgrades but have read the 8th round normally hangs up. Anyone got a go to mag that doesn’t fail?

My arc jams all day w .org follower.

 

[nexusfire]

What caliber?

 

[nexusfire]

Oh and the only way I run an ARC is with LRI follower and 6 dasher rounds. 6.5cm doesn't work for shit.

 

[Widowmaker300]

6.5x47

My GAP built 591 is in an older XLR chassis and uses AICS mags without an issue

 

[Shifty6BR]

In my 6x47l 591 lefty I am running aics and magpul aics mags no issue...also run a ss block as well.

Rem style extractor
m5 bottom metal
manners t4a
Operates like clockwork.

No xp in the chassis tho.

@Widowmaker300 have you adjusted the feed lips on the ARCs?

 

[joel65]

Magpul works great with 6.5 x47, 591, and MA Chassis.

@Widowmaker300 have you adjusted the feed lips on the ARCs?

Haven’t read anything about that.

 

[Mormegil87]

Does your bolt cycle smooth when there are no rounds in the mags and rough she. They mags are loaded?

Smooth.

 

[Mormegil87]

Rough when the mags are loaded does it cycle pretty rough?

 

[Widowmaker300]

Yeah it’s rough with the loaded mag

 

[Mormegil87]

Yeah it’s rough with the loaded mag

So I had the same thing on an Impact in an MPA. I ended up buying the MPA feed lip tool and just started slowly bending the feed lips per the instructions Phil demonstrates in the video on YouTube.

Then I took 400 grit sand paper to inside edge of the feed lips, followed by 600 grit to smooth out any imperfections.

Lastly I've left the magazines loaded for a few days.

It's all seemed to help quite a bit so far.

I like the 5 rounders but my fil likes the 10 rounders better. Both run perfect.

Accuracy international AICS 10rds and mdt 12rds in a 6x47 have been good for me in my map chassis

 

[Forrest84]

Been running accurate and ASICS for years with never a single problem
