The magazine for 223 Axis is very difficult to insert and almost impossible to remove. I have 2 Axis rifles, a 223 in a Boyds stock and a Axis 2 6.5 CM in a hardwood .stock. The 6.5 Mag will fit fine in either stock but 223 mag is very hard to remove from both of them. I have compared both mag and with the only thing I can see being 3 holes drilled in one. Right now I'm loading the 223 one rd at a time. Has there been some type of modification on the Axis 2 mag.

I was thinking of ordering another 223 mag for an Axis 2 but everything I see just indicates Axis. Has anyone had this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated,
