Mag Problem

[slipper 116]

Its probably nothing but annoying, the magazine for my cz 452 is pushing the bullets up at a funny angle and shaving the lead as I try to load, is there anything I can do? Think there about 25 quid so thought I'd ask first lol

give it a good clean and oil

Right I believe the first thing to do is put it in comparison with another mag that doesn't do this, if you can see that the lip of the mag has been bent use a pair of pliers to gently alter...if all else has failed and at your own risk to damage mate.

 

Hope your mag is metal otherwise that'll be pretty hard.

if the spring is sticking in the mag it will tilt the round, take the bottom off remove the spring clean and lightly oil

I had the same problem with an otherwise superb 452, it's the 10 shot Mags that are the bad ones, the 5's are fine.

Sorry to say I could never 'cure' it, the only partial cure for mine was to load no more than 8 rounds.

Another issue was somehow/sometimes the rim of the next lower round got in front of the one above and jammed

the whole lot, the only way to resolve that was to slip the mag bottom plate off and drop the spring, follower and all

the rounds through the bottom, IDEAL at night in the rain/wind.

I just got a load of 5's.

Andyf - the rimmed cartriges on my .22 Hornet jam up like that sometimes. I'm going to cut a hole in the side so I can get a fingernail in to pull the lower round down.

I had a new 10 shot mag doing the same thing. I left it loaded for a few nights with 8 rounds to soften the spring. That worked a treat and now holds 10 no problem. I only use the 10 shot for zeroing and I have 5x 5 shots for hunting

[slipper 116]

I'll try that dan but ten shots go quickly when driving around the stubbles, so I'd be changing mags even quicker with the fives, lol, nothing worse than putting cross hairs on bunnies bonce and ....click lol
