2 - 35 round magazine issues with new Century Arms Golani Sporter. Just purchased last week from militarygunsupply.com. SN GLN05***

Both magazines are exactly the same. Will post photos later.

Good magazine will feed everything:
- Wolf black box HP
- Barnaul SP Boat Tail
- FMJ (Remington and Monarch)

=====

Bad magazine will NOT feed:
- Wolf black box HP (will not even fit into the magazine)
Bad magazine will feed:
- FMJ (Remington and Monarch)
- Barnaul and Wolf SP might feed. Need to test.

=====

When I compared sizes, FMJ was slightly smaller than Wolf HP. I dremeled out part of the 'bad' mag and it did feed down to the point that was dremeled but stopped.

INteresting. Of the 2 that came with my rifle, 1 looked new and won't work, and 1 looks like hell and tweaked a little to work well. THen I bought a dozen Orlites and said "f" the steel mags.

'Good' Mag that feeds all rounds (fmj, sp, hp) looks in 'good to almost new' condition.

'Bad' Mag - wont feed Wolf HP and not tested on SP without chipping nose looks 'good' condition with some rust on the follower. No structural problems.

I pulled both mags apart last nite and cleaned with corrosionx (both mags were already pretty clean).

Photos to come tonite or tomorrow. Gotta find time.

Photos of my 2 identical mags... Good Feeds All Ammo (FMJ, HP, SP) of all different types (Bernaul, Remington, Wolf Classic and Black Box)

Bad mag only feeds FMJ.

Can someone tell me who manufactured these magazines? they are metal and came with my Century Arms Golani

Dented rounds from 'bad' magazine with fmj happened only on last 2 or 3 rounds in magazine. Did not happen on 'good' magazine.
