"Fixes" for "Common Problems"

[Fasteddie01]

HI - I recently saw a post about a few probs a new member found with his 'B'. Here is 'part' of his post and my reply (in Bold) and some pics. All easy to do in a few minutes. Good Luck ! I hope this helps y'all :cool:

My Mag rating - 2.5.
New forum member here!
My reason for rating a 2.5:
Cons:
No extended mags-My Biggest complaint, I wish they used 10/22 mags.
The 25 round BC mags work fine - I have 2x
No aftermarket magazines. SEE ABOVE - NO Need of 'other' mags.
Slow mag changes - hopefully I will improve with practice. You will.
Can be stiff to load and have finger cutting edges.
If you 'un-wind' the mag-spring a bit, it's much easier - see (my doc) Below
Take a file and 'round' the edges a bit - 5-min job.

PS - If you 'polish' ALL friction surfaces lightly with 600g or 1000g w/d paper you'll find everything will run smoother, too. The Bolt-Guide-Rail might 'scratch' bullets in the mag so it's advised to 'round' that leading edge, I just went about 1.5" back to make it smooth, too.

good stuff. my only real complaint on my b22 is the entire bolt looks like it was machined by a 12 year old on his second day at the factory. it does scratch bullets but as of yet it hasn't affected anything but I'll be polishing this bad boy up to optimize as much as I can. I'd post pics but I haven't figured that out yet.
biggest problem I've got is I can't find any flush fit 10 round rotary magazines for my b22. I do need the flush fit unfortunately for prs and balance issues.
