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

It sounds to me like you have not properly seated the magazine into the bottom of the action, the magazine being the sheetmetal lining. It is split at the rear and sometimes springs out while placing the action into the stock. Make sure it is fully inserted into the recease in the bottom of the action...it will hold but if bumped will snap out and make the mag well wider causing the follower to shift to one side and not excert proper pressue on the cartridge. This also makes the gaurd not seat as the liner is too far down if not seated. I usually assemble the rifle upside down to deter this problem.

Let me know
