I have a T4A carbon elite with mini chassis for a R700. Had my 308 bolted in it that functioned flawlessly. I recently had a 223 built up and decided to swap that into the T4A. Using an Accurate 10 round mag I went to seat the mag in it dropped down about 1/4 inch didn't pay much attention to it at the time but when I went to camber a round the bolt went right over the top of the round and would not push it out of the mag. If I press up on the mag it works fine the bolt picks up the round no problem. At first I thought it could be the mag so I bought a 5 and 10 round magazine and still had the same issue. Just wondering if anyone else had the same issue and what did you do to fix it. I talked with my gunsmith and he talked about welding a little extension on it to work with the magazines. my main concern with that is if I decide to go back to a larger caliber with Aics pattern magazine would they be able to seat with that little tab welded on.
 
I have the plastic aics 223 10rd that shipped with it and they properly present the round in my ta minichassis. Call manners up Monday and ask their opinion. Not sure why the accurate wouldn’t work though... is the 223 a factory mag cut or is it something opened up for aw mags? Just spitballing
