Super 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I haven't had a change to actually fire the gun with the new 15rd mags (from Carolina SS), but I did have a problem loading the mags with the shells. I also had a customer have the same problem. It seems that after the 7th or 8th shell, it seems to catch on the backside and not allow for smooth loading. The first 7 or 8 shells....no problems, but the ones after that are hard to get in. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? I looked at the factory supplied mag, it does show a small difference in the width of the backside where the back of the shell rides against. Could this be part of the problem? Any input would be nice...and thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My first thought-sounds like a small burr inside that may be holding the follower up. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frick 3 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 You may also want to check the length of the shell, as some are longer than others, and they may be dragging at a certain spot in the mag. At least try a different brand. Oh, if you get to filing, these seem to be somewhat soft, so go easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
