Problems with Mec-Gar Mags

I own a post war Mauser(06/73) and had a problem like you describe with one Mec-Gar mag in it. On close exam, the hole for the mag catch to go into was "off" just a tiny bit, and the mag catch would not fully go into the mag hole. I took a needle file and opened the hole in the mag to accept the mag catch.....it required very little filing.

Compare your Mec-Gar mags to your functioning mags, and you will most likely see a tiny/small difference in the mag catch hole. Modify as needed. Good luck!!
