Pmag issue

[Jrb572]

I am having problems with some Pmags. 20 round mags. There tight to fit into the mag well and when the ejection button is pushed it stays in the rifle.
I have no issues withe the 20 round that came with it or 30 round that I purchased. The 20 round and 30 round that work fine say Pmag20 or 30 on the mags. The two that just say Pmag on it have the issues.
Has anybody else run into this? Are the ones that have Just Pmag older mags?

Re: Pmag issue

I've seen that on some of the cheaper/low quality lowers. What lower are you using?

never noticed anything like that in my AR's but i have several friends that own Olympic arms and they all have issues like yours.
this may not help much though

It's not the lower it's the mag. My LMT won't drop 2 of my 15 pmags. I had to sand the back side of these pmags. Every now and then I come across a pmag that is "fat" so to say.

Re: Pmag issue

It's an APA lower. When you say sand the back side? Where the part is seemed together on the back side?

Yes and also the backside that extends down from the feedlips.

I have several of the same Pmags. The only way they drop out of my lower is if they have a full 30 rounds in them. I bought them in 09, I think (as far as age goes). I will also try that sanding trick.
