Default 6906 mag not releasing properly

Recently purchased 6906 that when pushing the mag release button to release the mag, it does not push the mag out enough to allow the mag to fall. I have sprayed some jig a loo on on release pin to no avail. Anyone got another suggestion? The mag does release, but it hangs up and does not move out of the mag well..thanks, zorro49

Just one mag or several? Could be a bent or damaged mag. The mag catch could be bad or the catch nut too tight where it's not pushing in far enough.

Thanks handgunner, I did try both mags and they hung up as well, but after I posted this on the web I went and checked to see if it still was not releasing. Guess what, the jig a loo must have needed some time to work, both mags would release and fall out of the magwell like they are supposed to! Release must have been hanging up enough in the magwell and holding the mag, anyway it seems normal now. zorro49
