Fix my gun AR Pmag 5/30

Bought a Gen 3 Pmag from FOC and it won’t insert when there’s 5 rounds in it. Anything I can do about it?

What gun are you sticking it in?

celik chimera 223. Don’t have this issue with the two 5/10 pmags that came with it.

Is the bolt open or closed? Can't always insert a fully loaded mag on a closed bolt.

Ah! Idk why I didn’t think of that but it does insert with the open bolt. Still annoying but I guess that’s a solution for that mag…

No worries. Curious to hear what sort of accuracy you get, mine was pretty bad. Ran flawlessly with metal duramags.

Shot it a bit with a red dot at close range so hard to tell but I have an lpvo coming in a week and I’ll be able to test it further out and see. I should probably invest in some better mags as well…
