The later mags are only partially overlapped in front, allowing one of the mag feed sides to feed without dragging on the bullet tips. That appears to be adequate to solve the problem.

Interesting, Ive not encountered that with our SR's, probably because we get ours from Indiana, not direct from the factory.
Sounds like DPMS is making their mags in the older style? the Double wall is exactly what folks are saying is the problem. One poster over on Arf even went so far as to use a dremel with a cut off wheel to shorten his 118LR to fit the mags, and of course had accuracy issues
You cant make shit like that up!
I just used some of my Relocation allowance to buy one of the DPMS SASS's so I will be able to do a good comparison once I get back to Indiana
