I have a small, subtle dent in the side of an old metal magazine for a Remington 760 Gamemaster that is just enough to slightly prohibit it from feeding cartridges properly. Any tips on how I could get that out?
A lot depends on where the dent is and the access. IIRC the 760 mags are spot welded on the bottom so the normal trick of making a mandrel to force the mag over won't fly. If it isn't too far in then it could probably be massaged out with a round headed punch and some careful backing.I have a small, subtle dent in the side of an old metal magazine for a Remington 760 Gamemaster that is just enough to slightly prohibit it from feeding cartridges properly.

It would be pointless, the dent really doesn’t show up in picturescan you post a pic?
Solder a "Penny" to it with a brazing rod stuck to it and pull/lever it it out with vise grips from the opposite side of some vise jaws.I have a small, subtle dent in the side of an old metal magazine for a Remington 760 Gamemaster that is just enough to slightly prohibit it from feeding cartridges properly.

I've had success with the peening method. It helped to lay the mag dented side down on a flat piece of steel (I used an anvil) to prevent over-correcting the dent removal.Solder a "Penny" to it with a brazing rod stuck to it and pull/lever it it out with vise grips from the opposite side of some vise jaws.
Or, pien around it with a close fitting steel mandrel inserted into the mag and a brass punch till it lifts.
Dolly it out.
Yes, a rubber or leather faced brass hammer is particularly useful in this department.I've had success with the peening method. It helped to lay the mag dented side down on a flat piece of steel (I used an anvil) to prevent over-correcting the dent removal.
I would take it to “Dent Doctor” and ask them. They have tools to work the dent out and make a dent in your car almost invisible which should work for you. A dent is still a dent. I’m also assuming the magazine can be partially or completely disassembled.I have a small, subtle dent in the side of an old metal magazine for a Remington 760 Gamemaster that is just enough to slightly prohibit it from feeding cartridges properly.
