rkr- sorry, I said that wrong.... The magazine is manually opperated by pushing it over with your finger... the magnets STOP the mag perfectly at each point for the bullets to line up with the bolt/bore... It still blows my mind how perfectly everything is aligned when the magnets reconnect to each other. The magnets are rare earth magnets from K&J magnets. N42 and N52 strength.

Very Cool. Always been a fan of the stick magazine for its simplicity and robustness. Magnets to tend to pickup iron particles in the field; oh and keep them away from your compass

Since the magnets are incased in the magazine retainer and always in contact with the other magnets in the magazine, I don't forsee an issue with them wanting to pick up anything unwanted..... If they do it would be on a molecular level which is too tiny to interfer with anything.... Unless I get to rollin round in the dirt with the gun...... and it is way to pretty for that!!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the shirt compliment.... It is one of my favorite T's....quite the conversation piece

Picked up the first duplicated ALPHA stock yesterday.... I have a good day of sanding and detailing to do. This stock will either be stenciled and painted or dipped in the Kryptek pattern.

The ALPHA stock is finally finished.. I chose to finish it in KRYPTEK HIGHLANDER. The finishing was done by my friend Dustin Fauver who owns Virginia Hydro Designs.

Thanks Bob. Dustin did an amazing job! It is hydrographics, "water transfer", "camo dip" many different names... Dustin uses sealer to seal the wood,an epoxy primer next ,then the base coat, then dip, then matte clear coat. I think that's the steps..
