Just got a new build in today 700 in a T5 with mini chassis Badger M5 DBM, I cannot cycle the bolt with a empty magazine it sets to high and catches the bottom edge of the bolt. Do I need to adjust the mag?
 
Re: Badger m5 and ai question

You cant cycle it at all? Or does it have heavy resistance? My HS that had a badger in it was very stiff until I took some 600 grit wet sand paper to the magazine lips. If your bolt wont move past the mag at all then I'd give manners or whoever did your build a call.
 
Re: Badger m5 and ai question

No the follower is just a little to high and it catches the bottom edge of the bolt when the mag is empty. I am gonna bevel the egde of the follower so the bolt can jump over it.
 
Re: Badger m5 and ai question

It's meant to do that. The magazines are meant for a fighting rifle.
