So I picked up the AR mag conversion for my 700 in 300blk. I had my smith who was a friend install it. It worked for a month or two. Now it doesn’t. I’d take it back to him, but he died. The bolt is missing every few rounds in the mag by mm’s. Does anyone know of an adjustment for this that doesn’t require a gun smith? There isn’t an available local smith anymore.

Check the action screws, there is probably one loose.

Have you tried different mags and maybe it's a height issue?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hoser: Is this the PTG version? Yes it is. I originally installed it myself. The bolt didn’t engage the rounds at all. My smith fixed that. It still seems to be off though. I have tightened everything, still no go. I’ve tried several different mags, still missing. Also when it does take the ground from the magazine, often it won’t chamber. I have to pull the bolt back a little then push it forward again. …I guess I just need another gunsmith. |

If the bolt is not engaging the round then the mag is not riding high enough.
Was considering buying the PTG Stealth DBM AR15 but was on the fence as you have to modify front portion of the receiver by grinding off material so the front of the mag can be fully inserted. My guess is this is your issue. If the front of the mag doesn't go all the way in, the back of the mag will sit too low for the bolt to pickup a round.

At one time PTG was top of the heap for gunsmithing stuff.
Within the past 10 years their quality, QC and customer service are some of the worst out there. |
