Wild cat magazine trouble

Just thought this might help someone out because it plagued me for a couple weeks. My wildcat 25 would not index the magazine correctly and I had to index each shot almost every time. I tried adjusting the trigger adj screws with no luck thought about filling a little off a magazine, and did not want to send it away to have it worked on, ( it's just too damn fun to shoot.) So I gave AOA a call and talked to a smith and he explained there was a panel that came off to get to the mag lever. I had the stock off one before and it looked like the whole action had to come apart, ( beyond my comfort zone.) Anyways I took off the cheek piece and there it was complete access,took some trial and effort but final got it . The lever is made of a pretty soft metal so if it gives anymore trouble I'll be replacing hope this might help some else and props to AoA

My apologies for not giving more detail. The silver lever is the magazine indexing lever and at the inner top of the action is a very powerful little magnet which pulls the lever all the way up at the very end of its travel. On my gun the lever would grab the magazine but was just out of reach of the magnet to pull the magazine to its final resting place in order to close the bolt,So I had to bend the lever up so it would contact the magnet. Beware the lever is very soft metal so adjustments need to be very small.
