Wondering if anyone has this same issue.

I have the Bad Ace scope mount and I’m using the Archangel mags. It’s done this basically for as long as I’ve had the optics mount so im assuming that’s my issue. If anyone else has had this issue I’d appreciate some help on how to resolve it.

I had the same issue with the exact same magazine. I came across a subreddit of someone else with the same issue.

The solution read “Take out bottom of magazine, flip spring around so that guarded sits flush with lips. Never stove pipe or fail to feed ever again.”

Ive ran hundreds of rounds since doing that fix and can confirm not one single stovepipe.

How do I do this while retaining the pin?

Im assuming you mean the pin the keeps the magazine capacity to 5. The pin is attached to the shell of the mag, so this mod should have no effect on the pin or pin placement.
