Xander Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 What seems to be causing it? I'm using the 17rd AFC MecGar mags. I have not tried using the stock mags yet. Shadow is NIB, just break it in earlier with 200 rounds Armscor FMJ's, cleaned and lubricated prior to shooting, and the problem is intermittent.

steel1212 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 try the stock mags. I'm no CZ smith but I wonder if your mag break isn't dragging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 tried the stock mags just now (dry fire), same issues. I checked the mag break seems pretty straight and ok.. I'm thinking may be the aluminum grips (mine is the Adam Tyc 333 Limited)is too tightly installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enutees Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Is this when you are shooting and there are a few rounds left? If so, the problem I had was only with the CZ mags weak springs. It would allow the next round to push forward and catch when dropping it. I solved it by switching to +10% wolfe springs. I've always heard the mecgars were good to go on spring strength though. Also, take off your grips and see if your mag brake may be touching. I've seen them installed where even the flat break bends out just enough to catch occasionally. I don't have any of the newer Mecgar mags with the AFC coating so I can't speak for those but I know many people use them with no problems.

redwoods Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 take out the magazine release and see if the mags insert and drop out fully. Are you loading the magazines to full capacity? They may be bulging if you shove in too many rounds. Then take off the grips to see if that makes a difference Then take off the slide to see if anything is binding there and you can look down between the grips and mag.

Xander Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for your input guys, I'll try them all and keep you posted, tnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon9 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If it isn't any of the above potential issues every new mag I have used sticks at first. Now I just take any new mag and immediately put it in and out of the gun 25-50 times until the contact points on the mag have worn in. I have needed to do this for both stock and MG AFC mags.
