    Default Butler creek 10/22 mag issues.

    A couple of the buttler creek 25 rounders I have are jamming. The top round will not pop up and jams into the mag feed ramp. Any sugestions on how I can make them work?
    Thanks.

    Is sending mags in for warranty giving up ownership under CO laws?

    Round file on the back of the mag. Gives a little more for the bolt to grab, when cycling.

    Rear of mag, allows bolt to pick up the round better. Small rat tail file does the trick. This is a beater mag so i used what ever i had on the table to show what is needed.

    Also sometimes there is a casting line that interferes with the feed. Since they're not serviceable you can shove the follower down and look and gently file
