First off DON'T FILE ANYTHING, no I'm not yelling at you I just want to make sure you see it

And they only offered the 100 rnd mag with the 22 model.

I don't have that problem. But what is it doing other then "can not get the mag to seat", is it the front or the back?
When you give more details I'll get mine out and try to help by looking at mine.

whats going on seems to be, there is a nub of plastic in the center on the back where the mag meets the rifle. the mag has detent to allow this i just cant get it to slip past also when i dont have the mag installed and i pull the bolt handle back it seems as if the firing pin does not pull back far enough to let the feed lips pass [b]THIS I WOULD NOT FILE[b] any help would be a big help as i dont have a second rifle to compare to

Have no idea on the plastic nub, don't notice anything like that on mine.

As for the "firing pin" thing, can you be mistaken that for the ejector? With the mag out you can also see it from above, it rides in a grove in the bolt and with the bolt back it sticks out about an inch and you can see it from the ejection port too.

You might have to post a pic(s), mainly of that nub thing
