Should the aug style magazines drop free when you the release?  My mags seems to go in and out of the gun with a fair amount of drag.  Thanx in advance.  Jeff

The STG doesn't allow for mags to drop free.  You have to strip them from the magwell. Bring it tomorrow and I'll look at it to see if it's too tight.

I'm fairly sure it's not to tight, I just wasn't clear on the drop free thing.  I'll bring it tomorrow, I'm off to the range to test it and put a zero on it with a spare optic I have, till I figure out which rail, sight and mount I'm gonna use.  Thanx, Jeff

I got a Gen3 STG stock from Dave and I don't know what happened but my 30's and 42's Loaded and unloaded  WILL drop free every time.

My Gen2 stock would not allow that at all. I had to pull them out.

Jennifer's STG Gen1 won't drop free either. I just went to see it it would. Have to pull the mags out as well.

Mine is a gen IV w/o F/A, Serial 1116X, so it should be the latest. Mags must be pulled out. I just got back from the range and I was very impressed, other than Wolf is too weak to cycle it, but it was cold today and it probably needs a few hundred rounds to break in.  I did have one round of SS109 that short cycled, the rest were fine.

Did you try putting the gas system on high while shooting the wolf?

Yup, still wouldn't lock back the bolt, nor feed a second round.  Wolf is weak and it was cold here in MI, 28 degrees.  I only have 50 rounds of 5.56 thru it so, we'll see how it goes after a couple hundred more rounds of 5.56.

It will probably run Wolf once it's broken in a bit.

That's what I'm hoping as I have a metric shit ton of the stuff and my AR's eat it up.  Jeff

Ok, so does anyone's mags drop free? If not I may have to send in my stock to MSAR to have filler added to the mag well. I don't want to be the odd ball here.
