AW mag feeding issue

[1up5down]

I’ve read a few threads about similar issues, but unclear on how to correct it with a mag lip tool. First PRS match this weekend as well. I have a few mags that do not push the cartridge against the feed lips. The head case side is lower, so the bolt can’t catch it. I’ve tried cleaning it out, dry lube, and carefully stretching the spring. These are almost new mags and have seen only a handful of trips. I have one Gray Ops mag that feed w/o issue. 6GT, Solus action, MPA Vanquish chassis, factory 108 ELDMs. Any advice appreciated before I tweak lips.

If it were me I would try to get the magup higher. Having the lips like this should help it from nose diving.

I'm thinking the cartridge case should be up against the feed lip. Is this a new magazine? Any chance the follower is in backwards?

two things you can try to get the back on the follower higher by opening the first section of the spring that has the apex towards the front of the follower. If raising the back of the follower doesn’t work. Try adjusting the feed lips to get the rear of the case higher

Looks like you could open the feed lips by reducing the angle until the case head sits fully against them. That will give you a little extra height, then make sure your mag is sitting as high as you can get it.

Great ideas. The mag is essentially tight against the action. Yes, the problem is each round isn’t getting even or enough spring pressure to push it completely against the lips.
I’m going to check the follow and springs because I did pull them all out before I start bending metal.
