Yes its after the mag is loaded. There are small plastic pieces that separate the bullets once they actually get to the rotary part of the mag. From what I have observed this is to keep the bullets from "binding" as they are moved in and out of the mag. If you take a hand full of bullets and line them up pushing the lead together the line will start to become concave or convex (depending on how you look at it). Those spacers seem to combat this problem, but at the same time they leave room for the bullets to rattle around. I have not had any trouble out of the mag at all. The rattling simply irritates me a bit.

I mentioned this on another thread, but it is more relavent here. Just got my 110 rd mag last week, but one thing drives me crazy about it. The rattle. Trying to figure out a way now to put an end to it. Any suggestions?

Figured it out and I removed the washer I added. guess I was just a little paranoid at the time. Finally got the 110 rd mag I ordered and I'm not sure if I like it. It diffenately has a rattle unlike the 22 rounders. Did a little more polishing on the trigger group and you're right Imschur it is addictive.

The polishing compound I used came with a dremel polishing set and it did take a little while to do the polishing. I will diffinately look into the ryobi and flitz compounds. sounds like it would a much better and quicker job. I do have another question for yall; after removing the mag safety lever and spring did yall add anything to fill the vacant space where it rested? I noticed that there was a rattle in the trigger group. After examining I saw where the washer behind the hammer had a little play because the mag safety lever was removed. If you look at the mag safety lever you should be able to see where that washer was rubbing againist it. I added a small waher that I had. I am thinking about cutting part of the lever down and securing it in there. What have yall done about it?

I noticed what you were saying Kilibreaux, I saw where it was rubbing on that plate and removed the rest of it. I have put roughly 750 rounds through the GSG today after that incident and everything is now running smooth. The bolt stop has not hung since a little oil was added. Thanks again for the help Kilibreaux and Popcop45

Problem solved, guess that the bolt stop just needed a little oil. As for the last set of pics posted, the round explded in the chamber, not sure what caused it, here are a few more pics of it. Just got through running 500 more rounds with no problems. Reckon that the exploded round was just a freak?

I did take the time to adress the bolt stop issue I was having while the gun was disasembled. I polished the bolt stop where it looked like the rivot from the ejector was rubbing. This solved my intitial problem and created one that I can live with; now the bolt stop doesnt work at all. I can live with that thanks to having the slot on the exterior to hold the cocking handle. Well gonna see how many more rounds it will take and will be back later with report.

Here are the pics. In the second I had modified the strut, but forgot the mag safety and the firing pin safety plate. third is after making the adjustmenst i forgot. The last picture happend today, but I think its related to a previous mod that I made because of light strikes. I cut a few links out of the "monster" firing pin spring and did a little work on the pin itself. After cleaning and inspecting everything from the blast, which scareed the **** out of me, I put it back together and ran 200 rds through it with no trouble.

I have used everything from CCI, Federal, Winchester, Remmington. Figured out that remmington isnt the route to go, as with my other .22''s, remmington ammo just doent agree with it. Currently its Winchester with copper jackets like Federal. I have had the issue with the bolt stop just by pulling the bolt back and releasing it though. I notcied that there are some scratches on the bolt stop that I believe are from the rivot that holds the ejector (part 93 in the exploded view). Would polishing the bolt-stop help the situation? Kilibreaux, how far down did you cut your Firing pin safety lever?

It happens with the mag in and out. it just wont release. I thought that I had lost that spring at first but I looked through the breach I could clearly see the spring was in its rightful place.I just put 2 mag through it, about 5 minutes ago right after I got home, and it was fine until the second mag emputied. Now its held in place. I will take pics and post as soon as I find my camera. I gun is cleaner than before making the strut mod, but I still notice there is a flame at the breach when shooting. Any ideas on it?

Thanks Kilibreaux, just finish the strut mod on my gsg. I can now feel the tension from the hammer spring as I pull the bolt back. I believe that I still have an issue that should be addressed though; I am still seeing fire flash as I shoot. What could continue to cause this? Now I have a question for all of you: What would cause the breach to stay open after you release the bolt? I checked and made sure the so called "mystery spring" was still in place. Its about to drive me insane.
