    Is that a broken / chipped tooth on the trigger housings mag catch..... On the TH not the actual Magcatch ?

    A good stock cleaning sure wouldn't hurt it. Best to coat the wood with RLO.

    Thank you for the Merex id. I’d never had made that out. When I get home I can take some more pictures of the mag catch.
    I’m hoping a good scrubbing will help.
