About 7-8 years ago, I decided to have my Rem 700 204 Ruger rebarreled in 223 for F-T/R shooting. I picked up a Krieger barrel and took the rifle to a local gunsmith who came highly recommended. In addition to the barrel swap, I had the action trued and lugs lapped.
The only thing that didn't work out as I planned is the rifle will not feed from the magazine (stock BDL mag) now. I asked the smith about it, and he said "No, it won't feed from the magazine now". My next question should have been "Why not?", but I didn't ask.
So why won't it, and should it?
