Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing CZ 527 17 Hornet Failure to feed?..

Good to go with two Mags. Measured every feature on the mag I could imagine. Only minor diff I could detect was the location of the front detent stop. still missing something here.

Original mag has aprox .015" more play in and out of the mag well than the new one, needing to be forced in with the magazine catch another .010" or so. Unable to see a cost effective way to decrease the slop we compromised by opening up the feed lips about .007" on the mag itself. this allowed the cartridge to ride a little higher and all is functioning fine now with the old and the new.
