Is anyone making metal magazine housing for Tikka T1x?
On a Tikka T1x magazine release lever is hinged to plastic magazine housing using metal pin. As you can guess when metal is rubbing against plastic, the plastic gets chewed up and the hole in magazine housing that holds pin for magazine release lever gets bigger and bigger over time (see pic below). As a result of bigger hole, magazine release lever is pushed back more and then spring in the magazine release lever bends, rendering is useless and since it cannot push magazine release lever any more, magazine release lever just falls out. Since magazine release lever holds magazine in place, without it the magazine will just fall out unless you hold it by hand every time you chamber a round :-( Hence the need for metal magazine housing for Tikka T1x.
