ASC's are hit or miss. Having feed lips on them that are too high is a common problem. I've had 7 like that ....

I bought 3 ASC 25 round Mags in 2019 and all three the forward edge caught the neck of the case, that's why I modified the forward edge of the mag. I also experienced a bad dent where the shoulder met the body of the case, which I am pretty sure resulted in my wolf ammo rupturing at that section. That's the reason I removed material. In the pic you can see the aggressive shelf on either side of the forward feed lips. This edge forces the round towards the middle of the magazine and aligns it with the feed ramps. That hard edge puts a nice gouge in the "brass" in the case of the wolf ammo rupture "steel".

What do you mean the feed lips are high? not familiar with the term. pics or it didn't happen :P

Nice Cerakote job. Did you air brush it on or use normal HVLP gravity feed gun?

I'll let you know what ASC mags I have in my bin. You can make me an offer.

Steve,
I have been chasing that dent in the brass for a while not. I started a tread about it a while back but we never came up with that little edge being the issue. My brass gets the dent preshot after loading but is pretty much fire formed out after the shot. Rounds loaded and then unloaded without firing show it. What was the mod you did on your mag?

I removed that ledge with a Dremel and the long pink sading stone then followed up with the 220 grit sanding wheels feeds better now by handcycling. Still haven't shot it again kinda busy. The top pics are what you can see what I removed from my mags.

I have put about 2K rounds thru this barrel. SS has a really high hardness score I think this thing will last a really long time. so, that being said I took a minifile to the lugs to soften em up a bit. Remember fellas the file only werx in one direction.
