T1x magazine disassemble

[ilpanther88]

Hello guys,

I have a T1x .22lr rimfire. The plastic magazine works fine with most of the ammo I put into it. However it has feeding problem with SK Standard Plus ammo (or maybe all SK ammo)

When I push the bolt forward, sometimes (approximately once every 10 rd? ) the ammo will stuck 90 degrees up at the end of the mag instead of feeded into the chamber. It really bothers me cause it's my match ammo.

I ask some senior shooters for help, they say it's because of the burr on the inner side of the feeding lip and a little bit sanding will solve it.
However I don't know how to disassemble the mag of tikka t1x, and can't find any video in youtube about this.

Anyone here has any experience on this? Both ammo feeding problem and magazine disassembly? Many thanks.

Add a pic for what is going on...

Sorry for my poor drawing.

I do not own a Tikka, but a Sako Quad.
No such problem with it but I once finesanded the feeding lips it smoothened it out.

Take slow-mo video of the round chambering and will probably show you.

But one guy here removed the stock and moved the magazine insert forward or backwards to resolve such problem.
The magazine insert is probably held by two screws.

Good luck!

Lots of discussion on this in the T1x thread at the top of this sub section. Lots.

I copied this from DIP website maybe it will help you....

This is the notch that you are lifting the base over to clear and release.

Thank you. Will check the mag insert.
