Hello,
I installed the DIP bottom metal and mag release on my son's mini then sent it to have pillars and glass bedding. Picked it up yesterday and the mag is a beast to get in and even harder to get out. I sanded corners in hopes the mag was a bit too large or hanging on a corner, no luck. I sanded the nipple that actually locks the mag to the release and this helped a lot. The mag goes in easier and sometimes drops on its own but when it doesn't drop needs minimal manipulation to remove. I thought my problem was solved but actually it got worse. Well, I can't say for sure as I did not cycle rounds previously to test feeding. I filled the mag began to cycle. the first 3 cycle without issue. The last 2, especially the 5th round, get stuck at the bottom of the feed ramp. I found that if I push the bottom of the mag up, it works. I will order a new mag as I'm thinking I may have ruined this one by sanding it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
