On my model 93 and another brand bolt gun I have, the magazine is located right where I want to carry the rifle (balance point) and the mags not only stick out far enough to be annoying, but almost painful with their sharp edges.

I usually shoot my semi auto Glenfield, but it started misfiring on me the other day, so it is benched until it gets a good cleaning, in hopes that will cure the light firing pin strikes.

Has anyone ever done anything to their magazines or rifles to fix this issue? On my other rifle I thought about coating the bottom half with the dippable rubber, but the release is built into the back corner of the magazine, so it can't be blocked.

Too bad something like the Ruger rotary mag cannot be adapted.
