Magazine problems

[Gaphillips]

I have a new Ar-15-22 with 20 round mags. The follower binds and won’t feed properly. S&W supplied row new mags and I have the same issue
I am currently in contact with them
Any one else have this problem?
I’m sure it’s not the rifle but bad mags
Design problem? The rifle is basically useless with an ammo source
Any advice about the 10 round mags?
Thanks

S&W does not make 20 rd 22LR mags for the 15-22. They do have good CS.

Your correct 25 round same

Are you loading the rounds per instructions in the manual, or are you just holding the button down and dumping them in?

The latter will result in feeding issues.

The proper way is to pull the buttons down slightly, load one round, release the buttons, and repeat until filled.

Yes MAGA jam even when empty Fowler gets tick half way

It sounds like the follower is hanging up.
With the magazine empty, try cycling the follower up and down a dozen or so times so as to maybe polish the track that it rides in. It may smooth out any burrs that are there.
If not, a call to S&W is in order.

If I interpreted that correctly (Magazine jams even when empty. Follower gets stuck half way.), then you need to call S&W. Your magazine is defective. There have been others with that issue recently. They should fix you up with a replacement.
