 Attached File Attached FileNever had this happen before. Thankfully it's just a 10 round G17 magazine. Was brand new old stock. Only the second time being loaded. |

Looks like the bolt caught the follower and tried to feed it like a bullet?

Note that most makers of AR9 lowers make magazines far too upright. The reasons are several: there's not enough space to locate a slanted enough magazine ahead of a standard AR trigger guard, for one. Some believe that it improves feeding and/or avoids nosedive. Either way, the bolt actually touches the follower in its forward section for them. Normally it slides over and pushes it down. But if anything increases the friction, this may happen. |

Send it to Glock. Send the pic with it. They will take care of you. Shit happens in life. Things break.

Bolt caught the follower. I've run this gun with Factory Glock, Magpul, and ETS magazines and this is the only one that has ever had a problem. This magazine was harder to seat than normal and it appears to my uncalibrated eyeball that it sits a little higher in the gun when it is seated. I'll contact Glock and see about getting a replacement. |
