I tried taking off a little at a time so as not to 'overdo' it. I put the mag back together and tried it as I went. I most certainly didn't not want to remove more material than necessary. Anyway, the finished job is where the tendency to hang up ceased. It was a lot more than I anticipated. At first I was just going to file a small bevel crescent in the middle, but that didn't help as the cartridges would 'find' a place to hang up on slightly to the right or left. Anyway, the amount removed is surprising large, but they designed the mag where that front portion is right in the way of feeding cartridges. Did they change suppliers at some point?????
