ohsevenflhx Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superfan Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Looks like impact from mag catch. File the displaced metal down and it should stop. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsevenflhx Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yes, the top picture is before, and the bottom picture is after I cleaned it up. I was sharing what I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superfan Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 They also shouldn't do that anymore.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almo Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Looks like the mushrooming is mostly on the bottom lip, like it's hitting the magazine catch. Do you insert your magazines pretty hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 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.

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! Edited April 23, 2018 by abb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
