I did a search and found an older thread about M1 Carbine FTFs, and a few users reported having similar problems that were traced back to finicky magazines, but I don't recall seeing if anyone posted a fix for the issue. I'm having a similar problem with this 10-round ProMag steel magazine I got off Brownell's that won't feed. The damn thing won't "stay", it drops slightly whenever I fire so that the bolt won't strip a new round out of the mag. But it doesn't drop enough to fall completely free, if I tap or smack the bottom of it, and rack the charging handle again, it'll feed and just repeat the problem with each shot. I don't know if this is related, but it's oddly difficult to insert and remove too, I have to really shove it into place and tug on it to pull it free. (Har har, keep your minds out of the gutter! lol) It's a Universal commercial model, made in Hialeah, FL.
Is there anything I can do to fix the magazine, or is there a better brand of ten-round magazine I can buy online and have shipped to me here in MD? I got a 15-round mag at the Nation's Gun Show in Chantilly and it feeds great, I'm not sure of the brand but it feeds without any hiccups! I want to go back next time to get more 15 and 30 round mags, but I need a solution for my M1 Carbine in the meantime. Thanks!
