adjc 171 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) got a couple of 5.45 tantal steel mags from Copes the other day and one of them will only let me load 27 rds. it's not the mag body have swapped innards (spring assembly, bottom plate and follower) with other mags so that has been eliminated (as far as mag bodies). i have gauged it with a marked rod and between empty normally loaded 30 mag and this malfunctioning mag and have noticed of about 3/4" difference between the two followers bottoming out. what seems to be the issue here? nothing looks out of place by comparing it with other spring assemblies. eg...as in bent or out of alignment parts.....anybody?

Timber Wolf 0 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hmmm, only two things I can think of. A dent in the body preventing the follower from going all the way down, or a bent skirt somehow hanging on the spring. Does the follower slide up and down easily without the spring & floor plate on the mag? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
