Problem with my MagWedge Kwik rail

Well, problem solved.





I measured and redrilled the pin hole in the rail to match what I had in my rifle (a #27 drill bit was perfect). Not having a metric sized roll pin (would have needed a 3.5mm), I used the closest I could find and then shoved a smaller one inside. This expanded it just enough to suit. I then obtained some shim stock and bent it around the end of the Magwedge. I now have ZERO movement. Off to try it out now !!
 
and.... It works! I have to go out a few times to ensure it's repeatable, but I printed a group that my thumb could just cover at 50 yards. I'm happy :cool:

...here's a pic of mine ...is the gap about the same on yours? ...i haven't noticed windage problems with mine but i can see how it might happen ...perhaps just gently bending one or the other of the rear legs in might suffice? ...as for the front pin mine is very tight ...but a roll pin should be a thousand or two larger than the hole in which it is seated

Looks very much like mine did, I used a precision vice to bring the ears in slightly and have a nice snug fit now. The rail is a nice fit for rifles that vary so much from one to another. Thanks to Dave at Magwedge for throwing in the quickpin with the GenII rail.
