Mil-Spec Magazine Dimensions > Magazines

Does anyone know where I can get a 5.56 magazine drawing? I am having trouble with current production magazines not fully seating and was told my magazines probably weren't mil-spec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is a mil-spec magazine? Does anyone really know? I am a manufacturer of magazines and I can't tell you the dimensions. It varies with each supplier who has manufactured to a contract. Every manufacturer has permanent deviations to certain dimensions.
The only way to get the dimensions is to either reverse engineer a USGI magazine or when a bid becomes available, bid on a contract and get the drawings.

Larry what is the maximum allowed dimension between the edges of the feed lips of a GI mag? Or of your mags if you don't know what it is for GI contract mag?
