Wow, what a rattletrap! Can’t stand this. Do I have it misadjusted somehow? Or do they all do this?

Take a deep breath and slow your roll. Hint. Cite ALL particulars: stock,receiver,contour,chambering(s) and mag(s) used. Pics never don't not help. Hint. Grab these frames and replicate with your platform and The Cure is seconds away. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/923/UDd2iH.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/922/I8vh5U.jpg) This schit is EASY,if you allow it to be. Hint...............

As pic shows, put a round in it and insert.

The view from the stern,will grant a gawk to feed/function functionality and rattletitude. Hint.
I'm thinking that mag wasn't packaged,as configured. Hint...............(grin)

Hawkins Hunter DBM is made with a fair bit of "slop"...more than any other M5 bm I've used. So much so that their AICS flush fit .223 mags will work ONLY with Hawkins Hunter DBM...which I was a little pissed about when I found out. At least I had a couple of their DBM's I could switch around.
At any rate, the rattle from that slop disappears when there is a round in the mag to provide a bit of upward pressure.

I set my DBM's up POSITIVE and more than a few of my pards,cuss same. Rattlin' don't interest me,other than on purpose and POSITIVE retention,precludes a mag being kicked out on accident. My schit is silent and tight,less a single round being in the mag proper. Hint.
The "flukes" are none. Hint..............(grin)

It’s better with a round in the mag, but still rattles some. More than it should. I don’t want it rattling at all.

I’ll play… Function is fine, but mags are pretty sloppy in my Hawkins. APA is snug. MCMillan Classic, Bart #3, .22 Creed, Accurate mags. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/XRzyRcy.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/iElXIz2.jpg) Edit to add: mine is fine while loaded, so I don’t sweat it. Might help others out though.

Can't see where the bolt's nose,is riding in relation to the casehead,but the geometry pictured makes me think pretty low. I want the bottom of the nose,scooping at least primer deep on the initial strip. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/924/iyc2ji.jpg) On your's,a simple mag latch extension,will get you there. I've welded 'em and fabbed new both. This assuming your DBM is flush with the stock line. I'm happy to bed a receiver deeper in the inlet too,but your's doesn't look that bad up top. I'm happiest,when the mag is physicaly pinned/captured to the receiver bottom.Hint.................. .

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/RIrsW8y.jpg) 100% feed and function, so far. Bumped the R26 .5 grains and shot a group today. I’ll load the lot and call this one good. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/a0AewJU.jpg)

I like my caseheads riding higher. With the mag full and bolt closed,how much can you leverage the magazine,towards the receiver's underside? Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/923/0kXroS.jpg) I hear good thangs. Hint...............(grin)

I’m not an organ donor. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I’d rather cover my bases in case there is and I need everything. You just never know.

Ridin' tall and impossible to rattle,with lips touching receiver. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/923/ZUIFHE.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/922/waanEM.jpg) Just sayin'.................(grin)

I don’t/can’t do pics on this archaic site. No big, I’ll call Hawkins on Monday. Mine rattle too (Hawkins Flush Hunter mags). Fill the mag, no mo' rattle - at least in/on my rifles.

I get that, put bullets in it, but it still bothers me. I own dozens of rifles. None of them rattle. Ever. Imo, nothing on a rifle should rattle. To me, rattling means worn or poorly made, sloppy parts. Am I wrong here? I find it hard to believe that a company known for quality like Hawkins produces parts that knowingly rattle. Guess I’m in the minority as most seem to find it acceptable.
