I hope that you didn't go the wrong way with your adjustment.

The adjustment lowered the Mec-Gar mag into almost the same locked position as the original Mauser mags. (There is a slight variance between the original Mauser mags.)

The key is to draw a fine, straight line on the upper mag well to use as a reference.

At the range, the Mec-Gar mag now unlocks once in twenty shots instead of almost every shot. This is progress.

After fine tuning, back to the range tomorrow.

Glad to hear that you are making progress on your problem. Just go slow and methodical. On mine, it took very little filing for the mag catch to correctly catch the mag hole. Keep us informed.

I love it when a plan comes together, and we have a happy ending.
