Just put together a Aero precision lower with a PWS 12.5 upper...goes together very smooth, no gaps, and no to tight...

however a PMag will not lock into the mag well if the bolt is forward, only lock in when the bolt is back...my DPMS and colt will lock in when the bolt is forward
so what would cause this? the mag release not locking onto the side of the mag?

Make sure you have the mag release flush.  

Had this issue before... loosened up the mag release a turn or 2 and it fixed it.  Or maybe i tightened it.. cant remember.. it was a while ago.

im thinking the latch inside isnt engaging into the side of the mag...so i would have to tighten it?

ETA...problem fixed....can delete now
