I bought an Atlasworx bottom metal for AICS mags a bit ago for my Tikka T3x Lite. I was going to get a gunsmith to hog out the Lite stock I have, but found a half decent deal on a CTR stock so I decided to fit the AICS bottom metal to that.
I just tried the CTR stock and 308 mag before I swapped it and it work wonderfully. I then put in the Atlasworx bottom metal and tried a 3 round polymer MDT mag and it worked great. I then tried a 5round metal MDT mag and it will not seat. It seems to be catching on the receiver at the front of the mag, but I may be wrong.
Anyone run I to this problem? I am happy the polymer mag works, but it kond of defeats the purpose of switching from one polymer mag to another if all that will fit are those. Is there any difference between a T3x Lite and CTR action that may be causing this problem?
