David,

Regarding: "Magazine drops free, and once fully inserted it can still move upward a little bit more (magazine base plate doesn't touch grip frame)."

The up and down play of the magazine you describe is normal. Most feeding problems stem from a malfunctioning magazine. As noted above, get a new Mec Gar magazine and make sure that the hold open area is clean and that the hold open operates freely. Your original magazine can likely be restored by GT.
