THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I bought seven mags from APEX last week all in good shape but one. That one fits tight into the receiver and will not lock in place. For the life of me I can not see any difference from the other mags other than finish on them. This one is pretty worn and most of the paint is gone but no rust or damage can be seen. The other mags fit right in and lock in palce. There is one thing I just notice all the other mags look to have a solid piece of metal where the lock activates and this one looks as if someone put a crease in the middle of that lock. It does not seem it could cause the magazine to fit so tight though. Any advise?

Yeah, post pics so we can see what you're talking about. This makes diagnosing a problem much easier on those of us who may have some info/advice for you.

That is not a military surplus magazine. Call APEX and ask to have it replaced with a surplus mag.
THANK YOU JESUS
