Ok, may be a fairly strange question, but
I just completed an AR-10, 80% Build. I finished it and it all operates as it should except, that I have to hold the magazine up, in order for it to bring the next round in. I had the company send me a replacement lower, and just tested the mag fit, and it does the same thing, there is around 1/16th of an inch drop in the mag release/catch. Is this normal, or did they send me the wrong size mag release/catch button? Or could it be the Magpul Mag? MagPro Mag? Hexmag Mag?

I have tested the fit of a new mag catch pin, with JB weld added to it to keep the catch from moving and that seems to help. What do yall suggest to make it a more permanent fix?

Or should there be play in this area?
