Thread: Howa 1500 223 Internal mag issue

Hey Guys

A Mate has bought a howa 1500 .223 and is having feeding issues. I had a look today and the round slip back inside the internal mag to a point
where the bolt cannot move back enough to pick them up.

Is there meant to be a spacer inside the magazine to stop the rounds slipping backwards? The mag well seems big enough for larger calibers so am assuming there should be a restrictor.

If anyone has any ideas or photos that would be great. He is tempted to do a detachable mag conversion which would solve the problem if someone has one around.
