Anyone have any tips for a gun that has a somewhat tight magwell? So far I'm thinking just modifying a couple 50 or so mags.

What is tight about it? The lockup requires banging the mag? Or they don't drop freely?Originally posted by David View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Some mags are just snug. I don't have to slam them in, but some require a good push. They also have to be pulled to drop out of the magwellComment

This happens to me on my ar. I have to give them a good tap to get them to stay in the AR otherwise they just plop out. As for not dropping out from the magwell it could be the magazine spring pressure, one of my magpuls did not want to exit because there was not enough pressure on the follower to push itself out, with a quick dissasembly and extending that magazine spring a bit, that problem never arose again.Originally posted by David View PostFirst hand witness at the failure of public healthcare.Comment

My pmags all drop out and so does my usgi mag that came with the rifle. Stag arms is the maker.Comment

Normally not the rifle that is the issue. I have seen many STANAG mags hang up, most of the time it is the super cheap ones. My advice is just paint them so you can recognise they are range only mags and live with it.Comment

These are all usgi mags. Some go well, done don't. It's bizarreComment

Just differences in the stamping. I have a few I have to bang in, and I have a few I don't have to. I just bang everything in and problem solved! If you mill about .010" off the top of your mag catch, it should solve the problems.Originally posted by David View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I suppose that's why in basic training I was trained to give it a good bump. Figured it was pointless since the mags always seemed fine. Guess they actually had a reason.Originally posted by MR EDDComment

Wont solve the problem of the mag hanging up on the way out. That just makes it easier to seat the mag.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostComment

Right, that's one of the problem he's describing. Tight magwell isn't an easy fix. Check for burrs or casting flaws, but more than likely you're gonna live with it, or find a better fitting mag.Originally posted by Pokulski-Blatz View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Chances of it being the magwell are slim. I think that the problem likely lies with shitty USGI mags.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostComment

Olympic and many other manufacturers have had problems with magwell sizing on their casting dies, many of them have put out recalls on them. It isn't that uncommon.Originally posted by Pokulski-Blatz View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
