Pinned glock mag prob

[phin11]

I ordered some new mags . They are 18 pinned to 10 rivet mounted in rear of mags . I'm having a problem where the spring is sticking to the rivet giving me a failure to feed at about 7th round , happens about 30% of the time. If I load 5-6 no probs but ideally want to load a full 10.
Am I able to relocate rivet ? Don't know if worth returning to vendor as they were $12 ea.

It's the rivet too short and is passing the rivet when loading, then gets caught on it will it's decompressing?

I would say they used too long of a rivet, you can get different lengths, it is suppose to hit the follower, not the spring.
You have a rivet gun, try shorter one.
You can move the rivet as long as you don't get 11 rds in of course.
At $12.00, maybe they just stuck one in the 10 hole?

yes catching on spring . I have a rivet gun somewhere . might go to Princess auto and buy some small rivets ?

looks like it is barely touching - if you have a metal file that will fit in there you might try just pulling out the internals and then trying to take a bit of material off? Where can you get mags for $12?

I had the same prob, the rivet is too long period. Replace it for a shorter one.

Yes, do tell.

Sorry $12.99 u.s , still a good deal . If I can get these ones sorted out i may get 2-3 more . The appear to be well made .

I bought 5 of them and all had the same issue for me. I put in new rivets and bingo, they all run great now.
