never could figure out why, but it sure runs fine as a single shot !

any help how to solve this problem to get it to stop popping rounds up out of the mag ?



Your rifle's rails, ramp and follower/spring are probably configured for the original cartridge. Properly altering the rails and ramp, and a new follower/spring would be the fix--just be careful, it's an art that even many otherwise good gunsmiths aren't all that familiar with.

i am happy with it being a 2 shot.
1 in the chamber and 1 in the mag.
haven't needed more than one shot with it yet.
i took the spring and follower out of my classic and tried it, but the same thing still happens.
so it has to be something with the rails.
do they need opened more or ? because measuring the widths, they are the same between the 2 rifles.
