I was pretty confident at that point that the mags are just tight and the second round down may be sliding forward by friction. I was getting hungry so I loaded up the remaining 13 rounds and went "full semi-auto".  Brass was flying everywhere! 
What's the deal with the mags? Will they loosen up or do I need to do something to get 30-round use out of them? Or are they just junk? |
We never had time to mess with bad mags in the military and just marked them and didn't use the bad ones anymore.
You might have better luck with metal GI mags or stock up on the PMAGs when they have the 10 mags sales going on.
Others here might have better mag trouble shooting advice, hopefully that's what your issue is.
Good looking rifle you have there!
