I’m a fucking idiot and you never let me know. I buy 100s of magazines for the boog. I train, I practice changing mags, I shoot. But the bolt is open when I put a fresh mag of fuck you into freedom gun. A full mag into a closed bolt?  Nope. Not gonna happen.

You have forsaken me arfcom.

Isn't that the way most mags are when they're full and an AR-15?

You just have to push it up there harder. Giggity. There's enough room in the mag body for the 30 round stack and follower to move down enough to allow the mag to seat.

Duh!  Now I know to push on the mag to see if there is some give. But if the boog goes down I would be fucked.

I own 36 AR's.  They all seat fine with 30 rounds in aluminum GI mags on a closed bolt.  What's the problem?

@spidey07

This was well-known back in 2003 when I started posting here and I’m sure long before that.  Just download to 29 or 28 for the reloads.

You're only using 30 round mags and not 120 round drums?

The question is, why are you doing this? If you're loading the rifle, the bcg ought to be open anyway.

Does yours LRBO not BO on the LR?

We always loaded just 28, partly because the M-16 still had a reputation for jamming when you loaded mags.

50 years of Tribal knowledge getting passed down and you haven't been paying attention.

They WILL seat. You just have to be energetic about mag changes as a practice.

Noticing such things is a good thing. You're thinking.

Get some training.

Some Mags are shit until they settle in.
Some are shit and never will.
Some Rifles have no issue, others can be fussy.
Work that shit out on the range.

That’s my palm slipping on the slam.  The only malfunction I’ve had on any gun was not slamming the mag home.

I must be the biggest idiot there is.

make sure you don't have 31 in the mag.  A 30 will seat with a bit of applied pressure.

Don't hit it with your purse to try and seat the mag. Pull up your big girl panties and smack it hard.

No. But I’d rather have them. Just like I won’t use 10s of thousands of rounds.

I don't own 36, but all except 2 will seat full 30 round GI mags.  And of the two that won't, one takes Glock 9mm mags, so no go obviously, and the other is in 6.8SPC, so never felt a reason to try.

Every single one of my mags - USGI aluminum, gen 2 PMAG, gen 3 PMAG, HK steel, HK polymer - seat perfectly fine on a closed bolt with 30 rounds. 30 round mags are meant to hold 30...maybe put down your purse?
