HI - Just an update. I was out today and this mod seem to be working OK. Well, the JB has done the trick on 5 of the 6 mags. I think that one was filed down just a hair too much. It worked OK with snaps but today at the range it still 'caught' the bolt and wouldn't cycle at all. The others were great. Today I fired about 100 rounds with NO feed probs, firing pin probs (I've 're-shaped' the striking surface - it had ca. 1000 rounds and was light-striking) and had some one-hole groups of 5 at 25yds, and most under 1" AT 50.
I bought a Bushnell Engage 6-18x50 for my Rem SPS-TAC .308 and moved the Vortex 4-12x40 onto the Savage-64 so I had to shoot lots of 25yd to get this zeroed. Then, I had put a reflex ($40CDN amazon.ca) on a scope-side mount and had to shoot about 30 to zero that at 25 then 50. Now ready for 'snap-shots' with the reflex or 'good' shots with the scope.
But the main thing is that the JB works and I was rotating the mags every 5 rounds so all 5 got a workout and the JB held, at least thru 5 reps so far.
I'll keep updates as the summer goes on.
