When I got my 7.62x39 conversion I ordered some extra mags. One of them would only load 4 rounds so I opened it up, cut a couple of turns off the spring at the bottom of the mag, and now it holds 5 rounds just fine. You might want to try that.

Yep, I had to cut both the X39 and the 6.8 mags to fit 5. First I left them charged with 4 rounds for about a week, hoping that things would compress enough, but that never panned out.
If they are C-Mags like the 7.62, they will have a little lip hanging over the front of the mag on the bottom. Put a screwdriver blade under the lip and twist gently. The bottom plate should slide forward and then you just pull it off and the spring and follower will drop out.
I would like to add that my XCR has been perfect...Shoots decent, couple fail to ejects when I was breaking it in........the last 1000 rounds have been flawless. What an excellent gun in every department....looks great to. When I go to the range people cant help but ask about it...When I tell them is my coyote rifle people cant belive its not restricted.
I dont expect the gun to be sub MOA after all it is an modern sport gun with only a 4x Trijicon ACOG ..but it will take out any coyote as far as the eye can see... I would like to get the 6.8spc barrel this year and maybe do some deer hunting or really reach out there when coyote hunting.

My XCR has shot/functioned flawlessly,no issues there at all with .223 or 6.8. I did have a defective .223 barrel and did eventually receive a new barrel.
I can live with what I thought was a flawed asymmetrical upper/lower receiver at the rear, others have reported the same thing and RobArms claims this is how they engineered it,so I'm happy.
The XCR is non restricted,very ###y (to me) and is a great coyote gun,its a keeper as long as it stays non restricted!
Caliber Conversion barrel swap
I had the urge to do some handgun shooting today,I also took along my XCR setup up with the 6.8SPC and my brand new .223 conversion barrel, (warranty/defective/replacement).
I did a little back to back test as a few of us have wondered how a sighted in rifle will perform with a quick swap of the barrel/caliber conversion.Unfortunately I was limited to 40 yards and bench shooting,regardless it was fun!
The ShootnC stickers are 3" dia, the 6.8SPC ammo was Hornady 110gr HPBT/WC and the .223 was Winchester 55gr FMJ cheapo, both factory ammo.
