nightwalker ukRemington 700 magazine jamming/misfeed
I shoot a Rem 700 LVSF in 223, I have a problem with rounds jamming when feeding from magazine to the chamber.
Can anything be done to make feeding trouble free???
Thanks

WestpacDid you have it apart? First thing I would recommend is to make sure the magazine box and follower are installed correctly and that the trigger guard is holding the bottom of the mag box correctly. The magazine box has to fit completely inside the well of the receiver and the bottom edge has to fit within the cut out around the floorplate opening. The follower should be facing forward.

Only dealt with that problem one time. A friend of mines .270 Rem started doing that and I found that the bottom part of the magazine spring had moved either forwards or backwards from where it should have been at the bottom of the mag box. I believe I bent the spring just enough so it caught where it was suppose to. Problem fixed. Been along time ago and was actually fixed in the field. Something for you to check for anyways. GOOD LUCK!

SnowwolfeExperienced the same thing with a Remmie one time.
I found out when I took the action out of the stock I did not reseat the magazine box back in the action the entire way.
