Mohawk 600 magazine problems

[freddyfour]

I decided to take apart my mohawk to give it a good cleaning and now can not seem to get the magazine in properly. The spring is attatched to the follwer and seems to only go back in one way. But the magazine will not hold the round, it just pops right back out. Also the magazine is pushing the trigger guard down and you can see part of the magaine. I know I have done something wrong but not sure what it is, any elp would be apriciated.

Thanks Brian

Do you have the magwell in upside down? - dan

Hey Brian, I had the same thing happen to me last week when I took apart my 660. This will be hard to explain, so bear with me. The metal "box" that the spring and follower reside in on my gun was slightly sprung open. It had two really small tabs where the box met the gun that when compressed inwards actually engaged the sides of the cut out and you could let the pressure off and it would stay in place. (if you bumped it slightly, it would just fly off) Try putting it on without the follower and spring first and see if you can get it to stay in place. Then carefully lower the stock on and replace the trigger guard...it should now fully cover the metal box / mag. (I did all this with the gun upside down)...if that works, try doing it with the follower and spring in the box (its kinda touchy and awkward)...this is how I did it...not sure if there is an easier way...good luck
