Magazine binding

[idsa]

Hello,

I have an original magazine, all proof marks, serial number winged eagle proof. No prevoius or existing rust. It is the crimped style along each side with an aluminum base. It seems to bind when pushed up to the locked position. Do these mags somehow form out of shape and is there a way to reform these obviously without being visible.

Yes. G.T. here on the forum has mandrels to insert into the disassembled magazine and he can re-conform the mag to function/look as originally intended.
