Most of the stock manufacturers do a great job. B&C splatter paints their stocks to give them texture and sometimes that thick paint gets inside the inlet and causes problems. Once fixed, they are a great value.

I'm glad to hear you got it working again. It sounds like there was some debris between the follower and the inside wall of the mag. By working the mag like you did you dislodged it. If it gums up again, don't hesitate to call us! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for your business and support!

That's a great idea! We'll see what we can put together.

Yes. Run us through all the torque values for the different type of standard stocks that Tikka makes. It would also be nice that you set up some type of packages that we could order when we set up a Rifle. I’ve set up three tikka rifles with all of your aftermarket parts but some items I don’t want that you guys have on your packages. So maybe if you order X amount of dollars you get a percentage off

Epic! Tikkas are so well engineered that they have a narrow operating window. I'm glad your rifle is back in service!

Keep us posted, and do not hesitate to call us or email us. Rimmed magnums are finicky in mags because the belts sometimes stack unevenly. Making sure they are seated all the way back in the mag is essential for smooth feeding. Cheers!

I’m curious to why you’re slide plate where the cartridge fits isn’t dished out like the factory mags?

Thank you for your support! The Gen1 mags are still our favorites, but the amount of user error we saw was off the charts!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Watch the video. Call the shop for more help. Every mag we make works when the rifle is set up correctly.

Tried to call today. Nobody there Gun is set to factory, used your bottom metal, torqued to same as original. Magazine will not seat and falls out. I’m returning. Not worth the hassle with factory mags much easier.

When B&C first launched their Tikka stocks, we had tons of problems. They've sorted most of them out. The main problem we see now is that they paint the stocks after they inlet them causing the rifles to seat inconsistently in the stock. If I had to guess, your action or bottom metal is sitting on some paint. The angle is wrong so the mag catch is not fully engaging. The added weight of the extended mag is just enough to overcome it. Check the inlet and make sure it is completely clean of paint. Also make sure your front action screw is not over torqued.

We still 5/6 round mags on our site www.mountaintactical.com

We are working on 6 builds with them right now. Everything we've seen so far, minus the recoil lug, is quite promising.

Contact the shop. The plastic mags are more forgiving to set up issues than the billet mags. The billet mags require everything to be factory spec.

I'm not sure what the question is here. Factory mags? Factory stock? Factory bottom metal? Reach out to the shop directly and we can figure this out.

Just asking if it’s common know issue, it’s all oem new.

Absolutely 💯 %

Absolutely 💯 %

Because your rifle is set up incorrectly

That is not at all what we were trying to convey. 100% of the mags returned work in our factory rifles here at the shop. Because we want people to have a great experience with our products, we put this video up to help people troubleshoot their mags. What you are experiencing on a brand new rifle is strange. I’d love to try to figure this out for you so you have a great experience with it.

@@mountaintacticalcompany And again you reinforce your stance (100% of returned mags fit in our factory rifle)....perhaps your factory rifle is no longer in spec ? I honestly don't give a flying fu

Or maybe Tikka did not torque the action screws to spec? Or they changed molds for their mag catch because the old injection mold wore out and WE need to change the tolerance on the retention notch on the magazines WE make? Tikka tells no one when they change a spec on their rifles. This leaves anyone making aftermarket components at the mercy of kind customers who kindly let us know something is different. We were the first company to bring a billet bottom metal to market. 2 years later, Tikka changed the design of their magazines and, since they are under no obligation to do so, told no one. Suddenly our mag catch on our bottom metal would not retain the new magazines. What did we do? We changed our mag catch and replaced the ones that did not work with customer’s mags. There are thousands of variables in manufacturing. Unfortunately, there is no crystal ball to know when variables change. At the end of the day, we want everyone to have a great experience with our products. If you want to be part of the solution, we would love to work WITH you to make that happen.

@@mountaintacticalcompany I just tore the thing apart and checked VERY closely as to what the problem is. Your mag will not fit in the receiver at all, the front edge of your mag is too squared off (i.e. the radius isn't right) so there is no way in hell it will fit unless I put a piece of bar stock maybe .375 or so into a vise and peen the shape of the magazine nose area to fit the contour correctly. The slot in the bottom of the receiver has a taper from about 1" rearward of the front edge (if that makes sense), it's a slight taper, but it's there and your mag does not have it. Remember, this is a brand new T3X Lite Veil Alpine in 30-06.....so there ya go.

That’s strange. All Tikka actions are the same and that radius on the front of the mag hasn’t changed yet. Very strange. Can you email us some photos of what you are referring to? Info@mountaintactical.com
