Anyone else having feeding problems with the blued asian mags that are being sold by several distributers?

I have 10 of the asian mags, and they tend to jam when rounds are fed from the right side. Most often a fully loaded mag will jam on the second round, and function fine there after. The rounds are hitting the front lip of the mag body, as if the follower is not popping up quick enough.

I did take these mags apart and clean them. I have never had this problem with the many USGI, or Chinese mags I have.

Any help?

The only problem I had with them is when a friend of mine tried my M1A. But it turned out it was his style, not the magazine (tried USGI too). He was holding the rifle loosely, as he had never fired too many real rifles before. Other than that one shooter, the Asian mags work perfectly.

I have the same problem. I've noticed the tab on G.I. mag are thicker next to the blue mags. When fitted in the mag-well the G.I. is tight, blue has a loose fit. I'm S O L, mine are like new

I don't know what you guys are using, but my ChiCom or Taiwanese mags work just as good as USGI.

I have 10 of the mags from Ammoman's
All ten work flawless from my Poly with Poly Barrel.
All ten do not function reliably with my Poly with TRW barrel.
They will feed the first 15 just fine but the last 5 are jamamatics,
even if you just load 5 in the first will feed, the rest stovepipe

I have one and it would fall out of the rifle after a few shots or not feed. Discovered the problem was the hole in the front wear it locks into place was just a hair out of alignment. I reamed the hole with a small drill bit and have never had a problem for the last 10-years.

All of my T-57 mags work just as good as USGI.
