Hi guys,
i wanted to thank you for the help with my father in laws model 80. I was able to restore it to a beautiful finish.
I took it to the range to test fire it, and was not able to get the magazine to lock into place. I purchase 3 additional magazines prior to this, and neither the original, nor any of the new ones would lock in. Any suggestions?

I'd check the magazine catch to ensure it's catching the rear edge of your replacement magazines. Also check magazine with the bolt open to ensure they aren't improperly built and hitting the bolt. Check the catch to be sure the spring is good, and holding it forward too.
