    Hello all,

    Just wanted to share a personal experience with one of my BX 25 mags that wasn't feeding well. Apparently there are "good" and "bad" ones, and I have that exact scenario. I have two that I purchased a few years back. One has always fed reliably, the other, not so much. After getting sick of FTFs and stove pipes, I decided to do some research. I came across this YouTube video, and decided to give it a try. All you need is a dremmel tool, *or* if you have 22 shorts, that will work as well. I took the modified mag to AGC just this morning, and did a rapid fire mag dump without any of my previous issues. Even used crappy Remington Goldens as an ultimate test. I am hoping others in my situation will find this useful.

    Wow, thanks! I've had this exact problem. I have found that a thorough cleaning works too, but this method looks like it is much less time consuming.

    Thanks for the info. I don't use the BX25 to much but will keep this in mind next time. Also the tighter the mag fits the receiver the better they seem to work.

    Added to my list of ToDo’s. Now to find a fix for my Butler Creek mags.

    My solution? Throw them away. I had one, POS it was..... They are sealed so you cannot do squat with them. Shame but they didn't run worth a crap.

    Mine seem to fit tight in the receiver and feed perfectly by charging but haven’t had a chance to fire the gun yet.. Awesome fix if your having issues!!
