Did you clean it with any kind of solvent?
I've had the same, supposed to be a 6 round but doesn't like more than 3 rounds 1/2 the time then the follower and spring fall out if you try jiggling them around.Quote:

I'll try gluing the next one.
Yeah don't think I'll get another tikka.Quote:

I had a similar issue with my 22.250 where the mags wouldn't take more than 3 rounds. I had imported 4 mags from the USA and none of them would take more than 3 rounds without tilting the follower and failing to feed. I was pretty pissed to say the least and in my anger I forced an extra round in while forcing the follower to remain level. Something snapped in the mag which I suspect was a small plastic obstruction from the injection moulding. Mag now feeds 5 rounds every time without a hitch. Followed the same process with the other 3 plus and original one I had with the same problem and they now all work without a problem.
Go figure?
Im lucky madjon gave me a spare. I havent got a tikka its in my tube gun. Did it work out much cheaper from the U S.
Definitely cheaper than buying local. Cost me US$56 per magazine landed in the country for an order of 4x mags which was the max I could get out of the USA keeping under the US$100 invoice price excluding freight. Total cost for 4 mags was US$225 landed. NZ/US exchange was a bit higher when I bought them in last year, but even on today's exchange that works out to NZ$84 per mag.Quote:
