    340C Magazine Issues


    Hi all, first time poster so I hope it's in the right spot..

    I have recently purchased on old 340C from my LGS & when I load the magazine it feeds the first round with no issue, cycle the 2nd round & it fails to feed (appears to coming in at too steep of an angle) & the same with the 3rd round. However the 4th round with cycle perfectly !!

    Has anybody experienced this issue ? Mag has been stripped & cleaned, no irregular burrs were detected on any faces that may cause obstruction.

    Cheers Daniel

    Probably going to have to play around tweaking the feed lips a little to get it sorted out.

    The early versions is this model were Stevens 325. Pretty sure I read online that the magazines for the savage required modification for use in the Stevens version of the rifle. This could be something your dealing with?
