All three mags had some file strokes on the bump, as if they were "fitted"(?)
None of the other .40 mags I've seen, new or used, displayed this anomaly.
Any comments?

Back in the early 3rd gen armorer training, we were told to diagnose any high spots on mag bodies that might make them "sticky" and not easily drop free. Then, we were shown how we could either use a
plastic mallet to "adjust" them (mostly for front wall high spots, but you can still imagine the potential for mistakes if someone got exuberant with even a plastic mallet), or, more practically, use a file to knock them down. Since they were only issue mags, the cosmetic appearance of a file stroke or two wasn't a concern.
