I recently bought few rifles from a seller, along with left handed a bolt for my wife. Found out that it did not have magazine, therefore, I bought one on ebay.
Making long story short, this magazine won't fit in my wife's rifle (Seems to be that magazines front lip meets the receiver way before latching). The magazine is original a bolt mag.
My question is, does magazines' for LH rifles made different from RH?
Thank you.

If it is a stainless gun, they were built on a long action stock which may affect which mag you use. I thought I was buying a true short action, but it's a short action with like a barrel spacer and used a long action synthetic stock.

It is not stainless. The magazine appears to be true a bolt mag. The lip in front which is towards the barrel is catching up, followed by the curved ends in the back of the mag. If it is a stainless gun, they were built on a long action stock which may affect which mag you use. I thought I was buying a true short action, but it's a short action with like a barrel spacer and used a long action synthetic stock.

Tell the seller to fix it with the correct magazine or return it at their expense.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

It's regular plain a bolt. Got a part number from Browning today. Am afraid if the factory won't fit either...

I got an additional mag for my lh a-bolt '06 years back. It's a .270 mag for a rh model. Works fine.

I bought an extra mag for a LH 243 micro bolt hunter that I had re-barreled to 260 Rem. It fit fine.

go back through the classifieds. If I remember correctly someone here had 5 or 6 for sale in the last year. It might be a good starting point.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
