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've been having issues with mine as well although I've been experiencing a different issue. For me I find that the rounds are not feeding smoothly from the adapter I to the chamber ( I have a st22). They seemed to be catching the little ridge on the ramp up to the chamber. I have tried to file it out to improve the feeding and it seems to have improved it somewhat but still have some work to do. Was kind of disappointed in having to fix it but in my mind it's an adapter and they have to try to make it work with many different 10/22 platforms (Ruger, sbi, etc..)
