Well, if they didn't function in any of my weapons, I would chuck them as well. No need trying to bend magazine lips, cutting springs, adding springs, or altering followers to get them to work. That is a lesson in frustration. You would think a magazine is simple by looking at them. I tried making a GI issue .45 magazine feed more reliably one time by bending the lips. Man, what a mess! Do one thing and you upset every part in the entire magazine.
I had one of four initial magazines with my T2K fail to feed the third round every single time it was cycled. The bolt wouldn't pick up the third round properly. First, second, forth, and fifth rounds would feed perfectly every time. Just the third round. I even loaded it with ten shots out of curiosity and low and behold, the same thing with the third round. Called McMillan and at first they wanted to argue but they did replace it with one that works perfectly.
I don't mess with them but I must find out why they are failing before I destroy them.
