Cajun,
My smith took a look and told me to stop being lazy and do the work myself. Basically he showed me that the bumpout on the back of the mags were not catching. He just told me to file away some of the metal on the bottoms of the 10 rounders until they catch. On the Combo mags file away the polymer(plastic) until the release would let go. On the 10s once they caught I thought they were OK, but when I loaded them no good, so I just kept filing until there was no problems. The Mags now seat and feed without a hitch.
Now for the gas bushing, I had the smithput in the.040bushing and it was a world of difference, however it won't work very well with WOLF, THESE I HAVE TO CYCLE INDVIDUALLY. I was also using Winchester, UMC,and PMC. The WOLF and PMC wouldn't cycle, so I'm changing to the .050 bushing. It was, however quite interesting to see the brass eject forward and to the right only 1-2 ft.
Now except for the glass bedding (which the smith says is unnecessary in the Choate stock, since it is in tight) almost all the INEXPENSIVE modifications are done. Trigger is at 31/2-4lbs., the barrel is cut to 16'' with the double muzzle break added on, and once I change the bushing, and this F*****g rain ever stops I'll be able to spend time at the range. Up here in NEPA it has rained for the last 15 out of 16 weekends.
