Mods for 64 Magazine & Reflex added

[Fasteddie01]

Hi - Just a quick note to advise a possible mod to help with 64 Magazines. I've had trouble with these for years and done many things to try to get them functioning well, polishing the ramp, cutting a spring(not advisable),filing 'sharp edges', etc. Older posts detail these attempts. Anyway, 5 out of 6 just recently started to frequently 'catch' on the bolt and stop the cycle. So after finding one that worked well and noting the position of the 'rear' ledge stop, I mixed up a batch of JB and applied a bit to each of the offenders. The next day I tested them and made slight adjustments with a fine file. The result has worked OK so far - no hang ups. Funny thing is the JB looks different on each and a couple didn't need any filing at all, but they ALL work now. We'll see how this holds up and advise if they fail.
On another note, I just put a cheap Reflex on with an offset mount I had unused. It has to be 45* since it cannot tip any more to the left, but it aligns with my Left eye. I co-registered it at 50 just to see how it worked for 'snap-shots'. It works OK, a bit quicker than the scope for 3-4 " POI. I'll keep track of this one and advise, too. Pics attached.
