Problem with Model 700 BDL SS DM Magazines
« on: March 01, 2006, 11:32:36 AM »
I have a model 700 BDL SS DM in 308 Win.  Two of my four magazines have a similar problem. One of these is brand new and the other is like new.  The problem is that when I go to chamber the LAST round, the base of the round pops up after I have moved the bolt forward about a half inch.  The round often ends up on top of the bolt and can fall to the ground if I dont catch it first.  This makes the last round more than useless.  I contacted Remington and they say to bring the rifle and magazines to a Rem. qualified gunsmith.  Have any of you experienced this with your magazines.  Is there a quick, cheap fix - like bending the lips of the magazine.  I'm ready to experiment a little before I hand over big bucks to the gunsmiths.  Just thought I would ask around here first.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
