"It only dents the cartridge when it's loaded to 30 or 29"..... That right there says the follower cannot depress anymore... Uhhhh no. It doesn't. If you take one round out, and you have only 29 in the mag, you have that much extra room. Your solution might work, and then it might also be creating a liability down the road. Regardless, if you are denting ammo with 29 in the mag, something else is going on and we don't need to be cutting on followers for no reason. I don't know all the answers... my post is still a suggestion. I do not appreciate the derp comment. Then don't post derp. Seriously, modifying a mag/follower is dangerous advice that could get someone killed. |

Lancer says it won't affect function and it won't void your warranty (as long as you only load 30)
That's only for Lancer mags and their floorplate. Mod other brands and parts at your own risk. |

Also note loading 31 without enough free space will result in a stoppage or cause damage the magazine. Which is what the stop (along with loading a suitable number of rounds) is there to prevent happening. Which makes it seem like a pretty bad idea to cut down the stop. All of which is irrelevant to the OP since he reports the same problem regardless of how many rounds are in the magazines. |

This thread blew up but I'll be able to test on another AR in two weeks, I'll post results and pics if I get a chance.
I'll swap out upper/lower, and BCG one by one to narrow down the problem. The rifle was very reliable and accurate but something is off by just the slightest hair. To all the people saying "Seating a mag on a closed bolt is harder" this is obvious but I own a large number of other firearms and have never had any kind of problem loading on a closed bolt/slide. Firmly sliding the mag in should seat any mag, having to tilt it to a side so a mag doesn't fall out followed by a forceful slap to properly seat isn't good no matter what the excuse. |
