any news on these TUFF mags that need the receiver to be milled ?
I picked one up at Wolverine and finally got around to the receiver mod. A file, dremel, tube micrometer, and caliper along with patience worked for the modification. Mag fits in snug. The hard part is charging the magazine so the rounds will feed. Charge it one at a time and no problem: action cycles just fine. Use the removable cartridge feeders and... well.. I THINK it matters how the rims align in the mag. If the rim of the top cartridge is behind the rim of the second one, the bolt tips the first round down and the bullet nose jams in the mag. If they’ve been fed in one at a time from the top, the rims are all stacked with the higher ones forward of the lower ones and the mag feeds them all nicely. Now... can I modify my Butler Creek mag charger to work with the new magazine .... hmmm..
