Well this is my solution to the mag problem, Only one side of the mag needs to be ground down in order for them to function properly in my AR, they work without any modifications in my 180B other than removing the forward rivet leaving the rear rivet intact.

Here's a picture of the mag inserted without the modification, the metal pushes upwards on the slide release not allowing it to be depressed.
