The magazine arrived today. It is mechanically excellent, but most of the finish is worn off the lower magazine plate. The plate that came with the rifle has a verry good finish. Will I get myself in trouble removing the clip that holds the lower plate on, I would like to swap out the plates. I made up dummy rounds using both the Hornaday 270 gr RN and the Speer 235 gr SP, they both cycle thru the magazine fine as long as I Keep OAL at 3 inches. You guys that have worked with the Mannlicher magazine let me know about swapping the lower plate.
Thanks Mike
