I was able to re-create it at my house. 50% of the time with the 3rd round with 4rds loaded and if the mag is inserted with the bolt closed. I don't think its isolated to when the bolt is closed and mag inserted but ill update later.

Can you get this to happen in both or just the one? What bullet and cartridge length is that? If both then I want to see if I can replicate the issue, if just one mag maybe that one had a flaw.

It happens with both mags.
Ive had it happen with the following:
Frontier 68gr factory
COAL 2.224"
S&b 55gr factory
COAL 2.222"

@West2East I went through some V1 mags and if I jammed down the back of the rounds by hand I could eventually get some to hang up, lightly sanding the back of the follower (I had some 600grit sitting on my bench) made it so I couldn't get it to hang up anymore. That said email me and I'll just swap you out for some V2.

If anyone else has an issue just let me know and I'll get you taken care of.

If the sand paper trick will work, I'll give it a try. I'm fairly handy and figured that would be the trick. Any trick to getting the followers out?

Push down the rear so the front pops free then pull it forward till the rear of the follower has cleared the feed lips. When reassembling flex the rear of the follower under the feed lips so it slips back in place, push down the rear to tuck in the front again, push down the nose of the follower once so the spring bottom slides back and seats itself.

Just to clarify. This issue was with the V1 mags?
