Gun and gear reviews Pinned Wrong?

Post image

I bought 2BX-25 mags from a Canadian online supplier. Tried loading them today and they won't accept the 10th round. I reached out to Customer Service and was told "Unfortunately due to the way these magazines are pinned, many of them end up only holding 9 rounds." Isn't it more likely somebody is drilling and pinning your mags wrong"if the rivet was an 1/8" lower it would take the intended 10 rounds without issue.

Am I wrong to be peeved??

Am I allowed to move the rivet and pin it to its legal capacity?

Honestly those mags sucked even when they weren’t pinned. The one round under ain’t gonna make a difference and they really don’t want to accidentally have 11.

that was going to be my smartass comment. Even brand new, the capacity (between jams) was WAAAY less than 10.

Plastic lid sucked, picked up a metal one in Montana that never failed. Threw the plastic one in the woods and never looked back
