Product Design

Needs additional engineering.
I bought 7 of these in OD Green. They look great, which is why I gave them 2 stars, but they don't work well. When fully loaded the spring pressure expands the top of the magazine making it a really tight fit to insert. As a result, they don't feed well either. The two problems combined create a third problem. When I removed one magazine after the third round did not feed properly, all of the 7 remaining rounds spontaneously ejected out of the magazine. This happened several times. The last round in the magazine did not feed at all in any of the 7 mags, and the follower does not travel high enough to lock the bolt to the rear when the magazine is empty. I did manage to make one magazine functional by heating the top of the polymer mag housing with a heat gun, squeezing the sides in about 1/8", and filing the follower flat. It has an asymmetrical 5.56 follower even though the Beowulf rounds single stack in the magazine. The manufacturer should take note.
