So I have a bunch of XCR pistol mags that keep jamming my 9th round every time. They don't have the anti tilt follower in them and I think it's the problem. Now my question is, is there a 7.62 follower or r they the same as the 556. If you know where I cam buy a 7.62 anti tilt follower is appreciate it. Cheers.

7.62x39 XCR mags?
Yes I had the same problem, the magpul AT followers do help.
The 9th round glitch is because the rim under pressure is hanging up on the little reinforcing nubs on the the feed lips causing the round to tilt nose down and miss the feed ramp.
Sadly, I was only able to fix it by either under loading the mags or grinding deeper feed ramps.
I would give it some time tho, I found the mags do loosen up with use.

Oh ok so there really isn't much of a solution for me other than to keep using and hopefully they losses up, maybe ill lube the inside of them and see if that helps any. Yes they are the XCR mags, is there any other brands out there that are better?
I don't know, I got better results with the AT follower. The rounds would jam up in the mag and now even flow up before.
I figured the legs were cut off because of the floor plate angle. With the AT follower with full legs, I get like 8 round in. 9 tight, and I have to force the 10th.
I have 2 different kinds of mags, and the one that worked better stock did not have a cut follower leg.
Meanwhile, if you lube you mag, only use a touch of grease inside the nubs on the feed lips. That might help.
Don't lube the whole mag, it'll be like glue for fouling and the mag will muck up right quick.
Mags are designed to run dry. Often the paint on them is designed to be like a dry lube.
