I'm thinking I might make a quick run for Axis @ March or so.

Great job on the magazine mod.

Let us know how well it functions/feeds with long rounds.

I did this modification and then reversed it with a pair of screws on the other side to go back to original length of about 0.100" over the original limit. When you use the long shells at the full rear position, the follower tends to pop up and tilt the rear of the shells to low to feed. I leave it in the short mode for rounds of conventional length.

What length did you use for a rear position?
Or would a slightly shorter OVAL in the mag to overcome this problem or would 0.100" be max before the described problem begin?

Just as a little addition since this has come up, I've never had a problem with all 4 feeding out of the mag.

And this ugly little plastic POS shoots lights out. Especially 70 gr. VLD's over a hot load of TAC.
