Hi Tom.
You mentioned HOs with various heights. Is this a part dimension?
I just looked at the original prints for the HO and height of the latch part is given as 5mm. Mine measures 4.9mm, so I don't think that is my problem.
I think where my problem is that there is some up and down movement of the locked magazines. All three.
Should the mag be locked tight with very little or no vertical movement?
