Some more information and maybe some pictures might be helpful. Such things as original chambering, new chambering, etc....

did some research and im more confused then when i started.the magazine box can be attached to the receiver so does that make it a stagger feed or a center feed. if it doesnt work with a stagger feed follower do they make a center feed follower for a fixed mag.

If the magazine attaches to the receiver, it's a stagger feed. I wouldn't recommend using a center feed follower with it.
If the rifle was originally a stagger feed detachable model, What components have you changed so far?
Still would be nice to know what chambering it was originally....
Also, is there anything stamped on the magazine?
