Thread: T3 mags

Had the bottom and guts drop out of my t3 mag.Is this common with these.

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.

I have never cleaned it much and only put 4 in it. Its a bit disappointing to pay 140 for a $4 piece of plastic and still do half the trip with a single shot.
I'll try gluing the next one.

Yeah don't think I'll get another tikka.

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.

Cheapest NZ price was NZ$165
