| Don't know if I did the right thing by buying one of these, but I thought that the 110 rd magazine would be great because I hate to reload mags in the field. It's been working fair since I've had it, but it tends to jam up until I just spray some oil in the hole and it's OK for a while again. Right now I've got a frustrating problem, the leader strip is jamming and causing the drum to lock up. I can take the mag head and get all the shells out, but the leader strip gets stuck and it's difficult, but so far I've always managed to get it out. I put it back according to the instructions, and after loading maybe five or ten rounds, it jams up again. I can see where those plastic "bullets" are going crooked causing the drum to not rotate anymore. I put a bit of lithium grease on them, but there's no difference. I don't want to take the drum cover off, not only does the instruction sheet not recommend it, but I'm sure I can cause more grief by doing so. Does anyone have any suggestions other than telling me to put it aside and write it off as a bad buy? |

E-mail ray from ati or contact chris they can give youinstructions on the mag fix. Which will involve you having to tear it down to get proper spring tension. also never use wet lubricants on a magizine you are only going to lead it into failure get some dry grphite lube it will lubricate and smooth it up without biuldup and chance of soaking into your ammo. So when you have it open degrease it and clean it up so no oil or grease is in it where it should not be then use graphite to lube it. it will go a long time with graphite. contact ray at––––––––––––- [email protected]
Please update to your progress once you get the info |

I'll do that, since right now the mag is not even a good paperweight. I need someone to walk me through tearing it down without having a mainspring wrapped around my neck.  |
