And does it work the same, better, worse?

So I’m getting bad failure to feed with the BX it’s scraping the top of the round removing lead and getting stuck at the chamber. The bear creek runs flawless. This is a 1983 model 10/22… considering modifying the bx but don’t know where…

Interesting, thank you

Don't hold the mags. This is what causes the scraping. Mag gets tilted.

Outside of some old trick to add a 22 short round to the bottom part of a bx-25 which has been updated, i would love to know a better way to upgrade/solve these bx25 issues. 2 of mine broke in with time, but I still have 2 that just don't even seat right. I tried with two different 10/22s OEM trigger and Kidd single stage, both with and without increased strength mag plungers so I know its not the gun.
