A7 Magazine Wont hold

[Kamifish]

Hi guys - was having a problem with my 7mm magazine and cartridges popping out, not an uncommon problem I guess.

I bent the tabs in a bit, solved the problem, but now the magazine wont stick, and keeps falling out of the gun. Did I mess up the magazine here?

Does anybody have any suggestions on what I did here and how to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Not too many guys here with the more recent model A7, so it may take a while to here from them & if they have any solutions. The cartridges "popping" out is a common problem & I here that Beretta is supplying replacement mags to cure the issue. I do know that it takes quite a bit of "up pressure" on the mag for the release button to work, so it may be yours is not going in far enough to latch securely. Regardless, both problems are a factory flaw & inexcusable, IMHO, & should be corrected by Beretta at no charge to you. Stop the DIY repairs & get Beretta to stand behind something other than their profits. Really unfortunate that Beretta has attached the Sako name to this rifle, as the more I learn about it the more disappointed I become. Hope you get it fixed, as I did hear they shoot quite accurately.

Had a similar problem with the mag in .243 and bent the lips successfully. Think its best not to top load even though it's supposed to be an option. Think sako could have went to the top of the class if the mag was similar to the finnlite

Shouldn't be that hard...I think if it's pushed up at a point close to the latch it becomes habitual and easy enough
