Alphas Air TW mag adjuster stuck

Post by The Greek » Sun Jun 25, 2023 4:58 pm

Cleaned and re lubed my Alphas and now I cannot move the mag adjust dial at all. It had been getting a bit tight as of late. Now nothing and I’m afraid I’m gonna snap something. Does anyone know if the mag assembly ( left hand side plate) is a serviceable part or am I going to need to get another whole side plate and assembly. I’ve tried as much as I dared to disassemble it but it seems to not want to come apart whatsoever. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I just have looked this and it was in short list of history menu. :D

But probably you have some issue with teeth of Mag Dial or installed in a wrong position...
