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?

Ever have a mag pinned so shittily that the rivet broke when you dropped it on the concrete while training for faster reloads?

Me either, for legal reasons.

Long ago, I had an SKS that was epoxied to 5 (well, 6 actually, but that's besides the point). Epoxy doesn't stick to cosmoline.

Fortunately, easy to repair
