imschur Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 These are known to be problematic on occasion until they are used for a while and broken in. Dont load them full and pt a little graphite in the body. Also check for rough edges on the follower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmurff Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 they do seem to settle down after awhile, once the top of the mag and the bolt wear themselves simpactico. If you need to clean the insides Butler Creek recommends pouring in rubbing alcohol and slushing it around then allow to drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtlmunkey Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I compared my butler creek to a BX-25 and noticed the rear of the feed lip is squared on the butler creek, and rounded on the BX-25. After using a flat file to round the back of the butler creek lip, I have had few, if any, problems. The only other issue I've found is with the fitment of the butler creek mag. It wiggles a bit in the socket, unlike the BX-25. I usually find that pushing the bottom of the mag slightly forward before the first round fires takes care of it.

asmurff Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 The butler creeks also don't like the mag loaders for some reason. Occasionally when I load mine with the loader I get jams and I believe it is because sometimes the rounds aren't pushed all the way back. Then when they get down into the mag they drag in the curve. I always hand load mine for our Tac 22 matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugerhunter Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've heard that sanding the steel lips on the BC mags with some 1000 grit sandpaper makesthem work better...so I did it on mine but I'm still waiting for my Takedown... Also, on the inner side near the back of the mags there's a lip there in the steel, if you file that lightly with a small file it's supposed to make the BC mags feed better. I saw that in the rimfire section of canadiangunnutz.com, there's a sticky at the top about mods and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
