Magazines not dropping free.

I have 12 Tactical Sport magazines. At last months match one of my magazines stuck in my gun during a mag change. I literally had to pull it out of the gun. When I got home I inserted and tried dropping every magazine out empty. 4 of them hung up. I found mushroomed wear in the knotch for the magazine catch. I cleaned up the mushroomed area, and they are dropping free now.

I had the same issue, filed the spot, no issues since. Which reminds me, I need to check that spot on my 2 newer mags.

BTW, why the heck do you have 12 TS mags? Do you load them all before a match and use new mags every stage? I've never needed more than 4, even with 60 round stages at the Rocky Mountain 300.

Thank you so much for sharing! Three of my eight TS mags have this problem and I thought that it was the followers and have not used them since. I filed off the mushroomed end and they too now work 100%. Helpful posts like these is what I love about these forums!
