I’m impressed that you figured out such a small change in feed lip geometry was the ticket to reliable feeding. Nicely done.

Definitely sucks you've had that level of frustration with it and makes me scratch my head a bit. I've been running 17 Furball in an AR I built about two or three years ago and have only ever run standard out of the package Pmags with zero feed issues. Also 221 Furball in two ARs for about five years using the same standard Pmags with same results.
