Just got my kit and love it but for some reason I can't get the mags to lock in place with the "sleeve" 0n. They lock in on just the barreled receiver but not with the Marauder stock installed so it is an issue with the stock. When removed from the sleeve the mags lock perfectly although they are difficult to remove. When assembling the kit it was very tight and I actually used a rubber mallet to fit the receiver in annd it looks like it is seated as far as it can go. Any thoughts or possible solution? TC

the receiver has to be in the stock ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK AND BOTTOM. it has to be bedded perfectly. my guess is that your receiver is not all the way to the back. i actualy used a die grinder and removed a bit of material from the stock to get mine to seat a touch better and not so ridiculously tight.
bed it better and it will work.

That is what happened with mine. The more I use it, the easier it is to put in the mag. I practised just putting it in and taking it out for some time while watching tv. I also learned something about mine- don't know if this applies to everyone else's mags: I push it up until there is resistance, then pull the bottom of the mag back towards me. As soon as it moves back, push it upwards again about 1/4" and then it easily snaps in place when you pull back again.
It might sound complicated but I can do it quickly now and it is quite smooth. No more issues. I took it to the range yesterday and it worked flawlessly, including feeding and extracting.
My Krinkov kit was a lot harder to get the mags working than the Marauder has been. Just persist!!
