Questions About My Well-Worn Plexiglass Handled Luger

OK, next question on the Luger.

I bought a Mec-Gar magazine for it (while it was in the shop). The magazine only fits about half-way or a little less up into the grips/handle, then gets stuck. I took the grips off (thinking the aftermarket grips might be messing it all up), but same thing. It appears the top forward part of the magazine is rubbing against the inside of the frame.

The magazine that came with the gun fits and works fine.

Is this common? Could the gun frame be bent?

As far as I can tell, using a metal straight edge, the insides of the frame are straight.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
