So, after being reminded by Kirk about grinding off the legs on R51 mag followers to make them seat under a closed bolt, I set about checking things.
Turns out I had done that, and it sorta almost worked. Rather than being nearly impossible, it was only really, really hard.
I figured screw it....let's grind some more. So I did, and proceeded to load the mags. First mag, got 7 loaded, it only takes serious pressure to lock in.
Second mag....hmmm. Only 6 rounds? That's odd. Was it always like this? Did I screw something up?
So I take it apart, buff things up, try again...6 rounds.
This is getting old.
So I take the two mags apart and compare. Holy freaking crap.
One of these things is not like the other.
I need to find someone I don't like to sell this gun to.
On the good side....I clipped and bent that spring, they now seat pretty well, and the first round even feeds.
Still don't like the gun.
