Anyone with any tips on getting the DTA mags to drop freely?

I'll be curious about this on too. I have 2 of the 6.5 Creedmoor (308) mags that drop freely, but my .338 mag doesn't.
Asstroglide.
Same here.
Same here, both long and short fall free!
All my mags drop free with complete depression of the release.
I will say mine is brand new - both the mags and the chassis. Its the SRS-A1 chassis. I also ran into another issue with one of my mags - essentially when loading the follower catches (second round) on the cutout on the mag for the mag release (internally). Wondering if the drop free is just a wear-in deal, or if something changed with the new A1 chassis or new run of mags?
On my new A1 all of my 308 mags drop free even when new. Haven't tried the 338 mags yet as I don't have the 308 conversion yet even though I have several 338 mags and they do drop freely when inserted into the rifle.
thanks for the feedback - I will give DTA a call to see if there is some version mismatch or something that could be causing it - or if there is anything I can do - other than applying astroglide ;-)
called DTA - they suggested tightening the two skin bolts near the magwell, then loosening them. When I did this it worked for me. You can just adjust the bolt tension till you get a good magazine drop, then Loctite them down. The torque setting is supposed to be 22 in/lbs, however, I found this not to work, it seems too high - hence the purple Loctite.
