Sorry for the technical title, but hear goes...
I have a norinco m305 and springfield m1a when i insert a magazine they fit nice and tight with no movement.
A friend came over with his near new m1a NM rifle and tried a couple of magazines and all (incl 20 round usgi) clicked in but seemed loose and there was movement up and down and side to side. The magazine catch had engaged as you could not pull it out without first releasing the catch. We cycled a number of dummy rounds through and seemed to work ok, just seems strange that the mag should have this movement.
I know it is not the mags as they are nice and tight in both my rifles...
Anybody got any ideas on why mags could be loose in an m1a/m14 type rifle ?
Many thanks.
