    LVL X Won't fit in micromag

    I have a Gen 4 Micromag, and I can't seem fit a LVL X superbolt into the body. When I put a valve in with a LVL X it doesn't fit through the front section that stops the spring but lets the bolt through. the Level 7 bolt works great with no problems, but I tried two separate LVL X bolts. I did what I shouldn't have and tried to force the bolt through without springs or anything and it got stick. I had to hammer a squeegee down the chamber to pop it back out. That section doesn't look warped or anything. Is there something I am missing?

    Shouldn't be a problem if it's Gen4... Got any pictures? Gen1 (fixed) Gen2 (AC, bolt-on detent) and Gen3 (AC, milled detent, no wing) sometimes have problems which can be solved with steel wool or a dowel and some fine sandpaper... I have yet to encounter a Gen4 Micro (AC, milled detent, wing) that had an issue with the LVL10 bolt.

        Should I just sand down the inside with some sand paper?

          Its common. Sand down the tip of the bolt or the inside of the body.

            Your body is the same one I have. I had the same problem. Sanding the front bolt lip is the easiest solution.
            Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
