Sorry but Big Stick is right, those things are a joke. The mag or the rifle? Both are working great for me. As far as him being right? That does not matter. The way Lawrence conveys his messages no one can either understand him or take him seriously. Sounds like a 3 year old with PMS.

I never understood it. Stickhead rails on Tikka but will buy a Ruger American and sing its praises after having to buy a stock for it. Loony logic I guess....Let me guess, he has the luxury not to have to guess?

KenBitchigan,
The only thing you "shoot" is your mouth and Imagination. Congratulations?!?
Folks who "know" and "do" as "much" as you...are ALWAYS best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers".
Hint.
Bless your heart.

alwaysdull, Ruger gets farrrrrr more schit right,than Teeker do. Teeker manages to fhuqk up ALL magazines,is clueless in general and eeks Goat Fhuqk after Goat Fhuqk. Hell...even Ruger knows to go with an AICS DBM. Hint. Laughing! The new Teeker Rimfire,yet another steaming pile of schit. CM,horribly botched mag and an '06 receiver to boot. Hint. Laughing! It's never been difficult to cypher,who shoots and who don't. Hint. Bless your heart. Laughing!..................

Kchuntis, Be SURE to cite any/all words I used,that are "too Technical" or "too big" for you and I'll happily use lesser versions,just for you. Congratulations?!? Chime in,after you actually have used The Goat Fhuqk magazine. Hint. Bless your heart. Laughing!.......................

Used it today extensively with shorty 223's and long loaded ones. Not a single hiccup!!! Smooth feeding with no issues.

I was part of the early bird first generation ordering cycle. I ordered four .223, bright red.
The bad: oh-fer on all four in the feeding department. One wouldn’t feed at all, the other three would feed, grudgingly, only if I inserted the mag with the bolt closed.
The good: I contacted MT, they checked the date of my order, yep, first generation, we had problems with these. Keep the guts, we’ll send you new shells. Two red, two gray.
So far the customer service has been excellent.

that's good news. Are they still available? When I checked online last week, they did not show as available.

I got my six round .223 mag earlier in the fall. It works fine. It has a secure fit and 100% feeding.

The good:
The replacement shells came today. When they say they’ll ship now, they mean now. The cutout on the top at the tail end of the cartridge is a significantly different shape.
The bad:
None of them function. I swapped the guts, loaded four, inserted the mag in my T3, one no problem, two no problem, three ran over the top. Put two more in, same issue. Tried different shells, same issue. Tried the guts from a different mag, same issue.
Maybe it’s the rifle!
Nope. Tried the other T3, this one a Superlite. See above.
Repeat with mag #2. Same.
Mag #3. Yep.
Mag #4. Yep.
Now, like Forrest said, I’m not a smart man but I know how to load a magazine. Something like that, anyway. I’m willing to accept operator error (I mean really, oh-fer eight, in two rifles?) but I don’t see how.
Any ideas?

I called MT just now, Andrea is sending me videos on magazine insertion and the magazine retaining spring. We’ll see.
Update, video file is huge, didn’t load. You’d think they’d have a vid on YouTube, or a link on their website.

I borrowed my brother’s 8 round mag, everything I fed through it cycled like it got paid to do it.
The looong 80 gr ELDM fed flawlessly.
