I did a search but couldn't find a good answer. I have a carbon fiber barrel B14r in a Mcmillan HTG with a Hawkins Precision M5 bottom metal and have the common feeding issue with the mag catch being too short to lock the mag in tight. Is there a simple solution that doesn't involve any modification to the mag? I have another B14r in an MDT chassis that works flawless, and I'd rather not have a set of mags for each rifle. I see that Hawkins has a bedding block but I'm not familiar with it and I really don't want to go through the expense of having it milled in if it's not going to fix the problem.

Wrong latch?
Please select our LA Latch/AW version of you plan on strictly running AW magazines or are using a 22LR. The latch is taller and helps the magazine ride higher in the magazine well for better feeding. Accurate & MDT 223 Magazines, and Vudoo Gunwerks users will also want to pick our AW/LA latch version.

Thank you. I didn’t look at their website deep enough, they don’t have the latch listed in their product section so I assumed they didn’t make one.
