    Sounds similar to a magazine retention issue in the Jard J180, messaged the Crover to see if he ever fixed his.

    Could TNA and/or Spectre weigh in on this? They are both great companies and must have seen this before and know a fix for it.
    Sounds like a crappy magazine catch/release, or it isn't screwed in tight enough.

    indeed,

    sounds like the mag catch isn't grabbing the mag properly
    they can be removed from the gun and filed a tiny bit narrower till they fit
    we're talking like 0.005" to start

    sometimes there are minor tolerance stacking issues when combining numerious parts
    imagine the mag is in spec but on the tighter side
    the bolt catch is the same as well as the slot position in the lower
    each part individually is good but as an assembly they don't work
