i have a brand new savage 93 in left hand and from day one it doesnt feed ammo always.

when you put the mag in if the action is close, the bolt will seize. meaning even after removing the mag the bolt still wont move. if i insert the mag when the action is open sometimes is will feed a shell but sometimes it wont. yet sometimes i throw a mag in action closed or open and it feeds all 5 shells. i really dont get it. i tryed different ammo, new mag. still same issue. either it works flawlessly or it jams up HARD. there is a tab that looks like the bolt slides over below the ejector that isnt lining up. ?????:confused:
 
I have a new 93FV 22WMR and when I first got it it wouldnt feed very well .If I pushed up on the mag it fed better.After reading on rimfire.com I learned that the blade the mag slides onto needed to be bent forward a tiny bit .This will change the angle the round is fed into the chamber by raising the front of the mag up a bit.
After doing this 2 sec fix it now feeds great .
