I spent hours playing with different mags before arriving on the Spring Tension being an issue and how much better the ASC's work verses others. (And again, the ASC's are the worse in my AR)!
Another issue on the RAP is the action torque on the bolts. If you cannot get 100% functionality, check the torque. I want to say Ruger's torque spec is somewhere around 70 inch/lbs. Mine were WAY over tightened. Taking the action off and using a Fat Wrench at 60 inch/lbs torqued evenly helped greatly though using blue lock thread and torquing to 55 inch/lbs was what I eventually used plus an ASC mag. Now that I have 300 plus rounds through the gun, I can actually use my Elanders without a hiccup. They are fussy with a lot of deviation in the stock between the magazine lockup on the stock and the action. It is the cheaper of the three bolt gun offerings and for a reason. They aren't perfect but they are accurate. They remind me of my 308 and 243 788 Remington bolt guns. They were cheap. No frills! Crappy soft maple stocks I believe and ugly looks. But...................boy were they accurate!
