Yep, lugs are glued on, lasted 10 rounds then locked the gun up solid for me. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I took the gun completely apart. One lug came off and jammed it completely. Unfortunate.

Test fired mine and one worked alright, the other sheered the lugs off after two shots. Emailed corwin and no reply. Doesn't seem like them?

That's gluing?

Any word from Martin on this, I haven't had mine out yet. No time to adjust the feed lips, which by the looks of things seems like a blessing. I'll have to take a closer look at mine again.

So I guess the best thing to do is find a shop that has a spot welder and weld them in place?

I was going to try and weld them back on and then file them in place, but they are fairly tiny, tough to hold in place for the weld.

I think these are mags were for show only, there's no way these are field grade or even practice grade. Blanks would tear them apart too.

 

[ilikeoldguns]

I think that originally it was one solid bar welded across and the cut out in the middle. That somehow seems easier to me.

I bet you guys could soldier those back on. I don't know how long they'd hold up for but I've soldiered the round limit pin inside my SKS mag on the follower pretty easily. You just have to make sure you get the surfaces clean and use flux.

I dunno, what would you call it. There's nothing on the metal, and the tab is just *gone*. It isn't a weld, it seems like some sort of old glue residue. I wonder if these were meant to be display only.

Email Martin, he will take care of you.

 

[GunsNotPuns]

just chalking it up to "don't order surplus from corwin".

Martin will take care of you. Corwin has a solid reputation for a reason.

I emailed em and I was told they got a bad batch that all had this issue. They told me to send both of mine back for repair/replacement. Awesome! Will test-fire again when I get em back.

 

[84fuegoturbo]

Pretty darn good service if ya ask me

I was just going to save mine as a backup but guess I better at least run a few rounds through it!
Some rest bar, there is no other sponsor I would rather order from or trust more than Corwin arms for customer service! They are top notch!

 

[ilikeoldguns]

Dang, I got one but have not tried it out yet. It is the entire order this is happening to?

I was told it was a bad batch within the order. Honestly, if mine come back good. I would buy two more in a heartbeat.

Thx for the heads-up... I haven't test fired mine yet... better send it back just in case.

Test fire it. If it holds up, fine, wasn't part of the bad batch, save yourself the hassle of shipping back and forth. If it fails, Martin will have your back, no questions asked.

I bought a couple of these as well, that I haven't gotten around to testing. Testing them is now a lot higher on my priority list.
