Ordered a 9mm mag insert last week prior to them selling out again.  I waited until this morning to install it in an Anderson lower.  The insert was extremely tight.  The description on the website said that a block of wood or delron may be needed to install.  I lubed the insert and magwell heavily.  Used a wooden dowel rod and began tapping it in, rotating between the front and the back of the insert.  The first 1/4 was extremely hard to get in, then suddenly, it started to go in easily.  That's when I looked down and saw why.  The insert completely collapsed in.  Now I'm pissed.  The lower I tried installing it in has been used in the past and mags drop out without issue so I feel it is not an issue with the lower.  Has anyone else had this issue.  I'm going to contact PSA to try to get a replacement.

that aint right........

Talk about an epic failure !

jeeze.. that is not good.

I'm sure PSA will speak with you about it. send them a PM, and they'll work to help you resolve the issue.

You took out the bolt catch and were installing it from the top, right?

I does indeed look like bolt catch was left in.  If that's true OP, you own that block.  

Edit by PSA:  Thank you for your thoughtful and courteous analysis and input.  While we appreciate your input, we feel the comment would be better appreciated in GD.

I was waiting for that question.......Yes I removed the bolt catch along with the mag catch and attempted to install from the top.  There is no way in hell you could even attempt to start to get one in with the bolt catch installed.

Thank you for the inquiry.

There is a difference between an slight interference fit and forcing.    If you cannot tap the insert in lightly, STOP, and call Customer service.  

Please IM us with your order number so we can have customer service assist you.

I sent you an IM yesterday evening.  If you do not receive it, please let me know (order #2101690500)
