The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - 10 22 bolt dragging with BX-25ers only

After taking a few moments to compare the two different capacity mags, I did notice that they are different in a number of ways.

The finish on the 10 rounders is much, much smoother in the area where my bolt is contacting on the 25 rounders. The finish on the BXs is very rough. I am talking about the large plane which is to the left of the feed lips looking through the sights. Very different. And at this point I am leaning toward this as a major contributing factor.

The entire metal feed lip part is also different between the two; same basic look, yet differently executed, look at the heights.

I polished up one of my BXs to see if that would help; not too much polishing and no help.

I have yet to take my calipers to any of this.

Any other thoughts?
