Foreplay?

KY?

OK... All I can say is to try taking the upper off and inserting mags slowly, trying to pinpoint 'where' things are rubbing. It might turn out to be one little high spot that you could file down. Of course, if that's what it takes then you might be better off sending back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement since they released an out of spec product.

What part of the mag rubs, though? (some wear marks should be visible..)

Yeah, probably the magwell.

I'd give the company a call.

I found the problem, apparently the front radius of the trigger guard was a little thicker than it should have been. filed it down a little at a time, and voila! mags of all types now slide in /out with ease . thanks to all for the tips SEMPER FI!
