Hi all,

I've been on the site for about 16 months but I've only posted a few tiems. Turns out the lockdown gives me a bit of time to take pictures...

I have 4 magazines for my H&R M65. 3 are standard 10 round magazines, 1 is a 5 round magazine.

The one that came with the rifle fits fine (the left most in the photos), the 5-round magazine is a bit too snug. The other two 10 round magazines are so tight that it is very difficult to insert or remove.

They feel tight along the sides (vice front or rear edges).

They are all H&R magazines (ok, I am not sure about the 5-shot mag, I imagine it was cut-down at some point?).

Any suggestions on how to get the magazines to fit a bit better?

Also, the magazine release is worn and leaves the original mag a bit loose. I figure I will try to gently re-spring it (bend it a bit back into shape) to try and tighten it. Failing that, suggestions on where I can find a replacement would be appreciated.
