Brocock/BRK Flip Magazine Warning

Brocock Owners,
Having just purchased a used Commander XR I had no knowledge of how smoothly things should work. Inserting mag for the first time it felt cobby. Shot til empty and quite stiff to remove, Seemed odd. Reloaded and was able to insert for the second time, When empty unable to remove. I am not weak, I could not push hard enough to get the mag out. It took drift and a small hammer to drive it out. On inspection the center allen screw was backing out making the mag too wide. Worse still the internal spring had come loose. I performed some magic and all is good now. Take a close look at look at your magazines, Don't let this happen to you. What a smooth rifle these Brocock guns are, Great trigger, Power and Accuracy.
