I received my order, same issue as you. Should of been a few millimeters of more room. On the tenth round, one mags follower was jammed and did not feed any rounds. Hopefully with some working in, it will loosen up..... Other than that, they are still my favourite legal mags.

I had 2/6 where the follower jammed. One of them is the one I just declare a 9 rounder cause the 10th round doesn't fit at all.
All the magazines function properly with 9 rounds, but this is kinda dumb. How are we supposed to fit, say, 100 rounds? 11 mags + 1 in chamber?????
They're not junk, that's why it's so frustrating. If any care at all had been taken when they crimped them, they would work 100% well. It's like a really nice car but the 5th gear is blocked at the gear stick. It's there in the transmission and all, but you can't access it.
The 10 mags I got fed fine and could hold 10 rounds each.
Had my 4 at the range today. They all fit the 10th round tight. With an 11th round chambered first from a stripper mag and with a thump on the mag bottom they all seated and would cycle.
Only 1 of the 4 would insert in the mag well of the T97. That particular mag gave me failure to feed jams part way through the mag in the Colt 6920 with Aero lower more often then not. Yet ran 100% in the T97 (gen 1 with feed ramps done up).
The other 3 mags worked fine after a couple of the same failures in the Colt. The jams looked like the bolt running over the rounds part way then crushing the brass. Odd as these have anti tilt followers. After a generous lube of the feed lips and light lube of the mag body walls above the crimp with CLP, the remaining 3 mags worked 100% in the Colt.
That first mag gave me 1 more FU in the Colt however before packing up.
In the end I got 1 T97 mag and 3 AR15 mags. All need a seating smack like a full 30rd mag would on a closed bolt (some would say of good training value). Finish is of a dry course phosphate that inhibits smooth follower movement, which I had to overcome with CLP for more reliable function.
Conclusion - I am content. Not ecstatic, but content. Don't think they will be counted on for IPSC matches.
