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.
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?
I was able to get it to hang up in some, I believe a combo of a little surface roughness and length of the follower in relation to the body, sanding a tad helped both. In grabbing half dozen random V2 I have completed I couldn't get any to catch like that.
I've shot factory and handloads at 2.26" OAL thru the longer 223 mags easily 100+ rounds without issue.
No issues I am aware of other than the same malfunction you can purposely cause in a factory mag also. With 2rds left in the magazine if you run the bolt snail slow you can at times get rounds to lift out out alignment and jam. This happens in factory mags also, try it out and see for yourself. But that speed of running the bolt is exaggeratedly slow and any reasonable cycling of the action does not elicit the issue in these or factory mags. So for all practical purposes no I am not aware of any issues with short ammo, I've ran 2.21" dummy rounds through these no issues (other than the caveat above).
