I posted a few weeks ago about my Daniel Defense Ar-10 .308 having malfunctions and suspected a mag issue. After close inspection i noted some wear on the Pmag. I switched to a Lancer and have had no issues since.

Good catch.
Was that a result of normal wear and tear ?.....
Well...bad catch technically.
Yes that was just a result of normal wear and tear. And as a side note it was not used super hard. That rifle setup is my thermal night hunting gun and with the thermal being so expensive i baby it lol. I am much harder on my other guns, mags ect.
looks like the tooth on the mag catch has only marginal engagement with the step on the pmag. steel mag catch, polymer mag, with minimal engagement will lead to deformation and failure. with deeper engage of the mag catch tooth, the load is spread out over a larger area, would last longer. Lancer mags have metal up top? harder surface, so they're not as likely to deform with short tooth engagement? take a look into the mag well, see how much that mag catch tooth is hanging out.
JMHO, that's all.

Push-pull!
yup, you're right.
