Fix my gun FAB Defense magazine problem
I have those magazines but for some reason something is wrong and they just don’t work in any 5.56 rifle I tried.
The bolt just gets stuck on lips somehow and doesn’t even touch the round to feed.
I would appreciate if anyone could share their experience. I am sure they are good brand and should work :)
Thanks !

Seems about right, I have yet to hear good things about any FAB defense mag, and personally I always hated the geomotries and looks of their stocks and back up sights, so personally I would never buy these.
You can get cross mags but if you run green tips thats not an option as if they shift even a little they bind up and fail to feed as is the case with my ruger american ranch, on a full mag of 10 usually consistently at round 7 I get a fail to feed due to the rounds shifting
Best thing to do is get 2 steely or aluminum LAR mags and a magwedge base plate to put the 2 together
