    You'll see when you get the mags. They say something like "LAR-15 pistol magazine. 10rd". It isn't engraved or anything, so don't let it wear out.

    It most likely won't be a problem, but you never know.

    Hey guys! Question. I bought a 10rd pistol mag at my local gun shop to tide me over until my MFT LAR-15 mags arrive.

    Went to the range and the mag was tight. So tight once in, I couldn’t get it out with my bare hands. Had to load singles by hand this morning. When I got home I used a pair of vise grips to yank out the mag.

    Fast forward to today, my MFT LAR 15’s are here. Much nicer and fit, but their a little snug too. They won’t drop out when pressing the mag release. I have to pull them out, with a little bit of effort. My rifle was cerekoted by ATRS, is it possible the thin layer of paint is causing the fit? If they even cerekoted up in the mag well?

    CeraKote is only about .001 " to .002" thick so probably not the issue. It IS a product that has a higher friction coefficient than the anodized aluminum substrate is however.
    With a bit of use it will smooth out I expect.

    Could your mag release be in too far or out of spec? I had a similar issue in an AR so I backed the mag release out a couple of turns.

    My LAR 15 mags don't drop free either, and require a decent amount of force to remove. upon closer inspection it looks like they are getting hung up on the upper receiver portion of the mag well. Not a big deal, should loosen up after a few hundred mag changes hopefully.

    Hey guys. My MS sets look great but when the upper and lower are put together it makes inserting and dropping mags really difficult. The lower has no issue accepting and releasing mags on its own but when combined with the upper its basically unuseable.

    Anything you guys can do ?

    Btw its all mags. Pmags, LAR, GI mags ect.
