Feets / Collection / My build Remington 597 adapter

Post image

So i got the remington 597 adapter for my 10/22 and im kinda disappointed. I have to hold the bolt open when i insert the magazine or they just fall out and even so if you manipulate the gun aggressively the magazine still work themselves out. I put a strip of electrical tape on the front face of the magazines and that helped a bit but im just wondering if this is just a normal experience or i got a defective adapter? Dont flame me for the barrel length i ran out of money with the chassis. Short barrel coming soon.

I bought one a few years ago and I’ve never managed to get it to work properly. The receiver and bolt are factory, I’ve replaced the mainspring with a new factory one. Maybe I’ll try sanding down the mags as one person suggested here. It’s been a whole lot of dissatisfying frankly. I miss shooting my 10/22.
