So I've got a 111 .30-06 that isn't feeding correctly. The magazine has to be pushed up into the mag well for the bolt to strip a round off. Now I played around with it for a while, and found exactly where the problem is.

The magazine has a tab on the back that interfaces with a tab on the floorplate (Part 5 on this schematic... doesn't show the tab, but there is one), so the magazine stays up where the bolt can pick a round up. On mine, there's a gap between the tabs that is about 1/20" wide, and it's allowing the magazine to drop down.

Now I'm not sure whether it's the magazine, or the floorplate. Here's a pic... I put a dime between the tab on the mag and the floorplate just to show that there's a gap. Now I'm hoping someone with a 111TH can tell me whether this is a magazine issue or floorplate issue?

Thanks for any input.
