It wont feed the last round

The magazines I purchased are solid construction and fit like a shoe into the mag well. However, my Auto Ordinance M1 will not chamber the final round inside the mag. The bolt gets caught on the mag follower every time, causing a failure to feed. Another issue is the mag spring is very tight. I can only load 12 rounds because a full mag causes the first two rounds get stuck. This is due to the strength of the mag spring. The power of the bolt cannot slam the first two rounds into the chamber and neither can you while assisting the bolt. I found that KCIs 30 round mag feeds better. I cant say how KCIs 15rd mags work with other M1s but the quality of the product alone gives the magazines 3 stars even though they have failures to feed.

Not as advertised.

The items I ordered were KCI magazines. The items I received were another brand (I already have a KCI mag and it has the brand stamped on the mag, this doesnt). Of the 2 ordered one works fine. The other will only hold 13 of 15 rounds. I didnt return the items as I didnt want the hassle. Ill just not shop here anymore...
