Fireant Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I use my G22 for USPSA limited and have Taylor +5 basepads on the mags. I'm having trouble getting my mags to drop free all of a sudden when partly full. I have not had this problem until the last month and a half. I have not changed anything and my mags are in good shape ( no feed lip problems or anything) Help, it really eats up time on stages having to pull out a mag that should already be on the ground with a new mag in my hand. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseywales Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Fireant, Had similar problem with some DF/FML mags in my G35. Check out the tips in this post. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3046 What finally fixed mine was replacing the frame. It was one subject to the recall, so when it arrived back at my house, all the DF/FML mag problems were gone. Hope it's better for you, as I didn't try all of the remedies in the above post.

chp5 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Fireant, This is a very common problem. I simply sand my mags with fine sand paper over a sanding block. This works for me. I've seen posts here that say you shouldn't sand the mags, but I've done it with many mags and I've had zero problems. It's a lot cheaper than replacing the frame. Also make sure that your mag springs are still strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 you can always try Armor-All on the mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVI4ME Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 You also might try "Plexus" It is a plastic polish Kartman from CGR turned me onto. Makes things slick but not sticky. I think it is an Auto item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Plexus started as an aviation thing, then went to watercraft, then motorcycles, then paintball. In other words, it's good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Take a look at the bottom of the notch that intercepts your magazine catch. The bottoms of mine started to bulge out from bashing the mag in on reloads and started to stick. A little xacto knife worked fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 All of my Glock mags (NFML 17's w/ TF +11's and stock FML 14's) don't drop free when clean. But drop free full, 1/2 full, or empty when they are armor all'd. A wipe with a silicone cloth also works just as well. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the duck of death Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Here's what I did: Field strip the Glock, put a light coat of oil on the mag and insert, remove and note where the oil is deposited on the frame. Dremel as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 Thanks for all the ideas. I pulled up with a broken leg from running and am out of commission for a while. I'll have plenty of time to try all the sugestions and see what works. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
