Rock Out, from the middle of the rivet to the top rib on mine is 15mm, from the edge of the rivet it's 14mm. Pmags were from Wolverine and ordered with the carbine.

Wish these were NR
Yup, pretty much identical measurement to mine. There's no more than 1.5mm of a space (if that!) if I press down on the top round with the mag loaded (A-Zooms of course). With the 5rdn mag, there's about 1/4 rnd of room. Do you have any space with your pmags? Is the top round inserted cleanly into the mag and the extractor groove isn't getting caught in that v-notch in the back of the pmag right? Bought my pmags with my DD from Wolverine as well.
I have to insert the pmag firmly or give it a firm rap to lock it in. Charging handle works smoothly too with either mag.
The chances of you getting 3 badly pinned pmags are pretty slim. Maybe one but all 3... something's not right.
My measurements are all about the same. I can insert all 5 rounds easily and there is about 1.5 mm of play after they are fully loaded. Ive given them firm loving to get them in but dont want to break the baseplate or loosen the rivet by really going at it hard. Im gonna mess around more with these and if one breaks then so be it!
F*cking hate these mags. So I can get one of them in. It has like a mm more clearance and even still it is tight. By tight I mean its tough to charge the rifle. Is there a way to get the whole internal assembly out of a pmag with that f*cking rivet?? if so ill shave some material off of the baseplates on all of them to correct this issue!
The fact that the mag that does get in there is super hard to charge tells me that the baseplate is tight against the rivet with 5 in it. Idk how all 3 mags are this far off!
As I understand it, the rivet prevents the mag from being disassembled. Might have to get dirty to fix it.
Death comes by subtle means; the satisfaction of routine.
As it is so far. Still need to find a decent ambidextrous charging handle. Otherwise it's nearly complete. Optics will come later on down the road but for now the irons suit me just fine. Just installed the Battle Arms Development Ambi Safety Selector (B.A.D. A.S.S.) last night. Looks good and works great.

Looks awesome Henry. I was considering the same furniture but decided to keep it black. Yours is definitely an eye catcher.
No suh. You'll have to drill out the rivet (takes about 30sec) just enough so you eat away the walls of the rivet without drilling through the hole making it bigger. Drill another small hole about a 1/2rnd below it and pop in a new aluminum rivet. OR maybe cut the legs of the follower a 1/4" or so and replace a rivet.
Humm, wonder if the countersink rivets would work better?
Hey Henry, love the new bling. I'm waiting for my BAD A.S.S. to arrive from TSE. It's stuck at "Processing" for the last 2 days. Grrrr!
