I loaded a Labelle mag with 30 rounds, put it in the rifle, released the bolt and began shooting.
After about 10 rounds thru the first mag, the next round failed to feed. The round was tipped up at an angle, and the bolt jammed into the cartridge. I managed to get that round out to continue. Then had several more jam the same way. I found out that when the bolt cycles, the next round actually tips up in front, the back is to low for the bolt to strip it out. This is whats causing the jam. I tried a few different mags, same problem. I don't get this one because I have fired a thousand plus rounds from this rifle with no problems. It has an Olympic lower with a RRA upper (carbine).
Any Ideas???

It's just one mag failing?

It happens, mark it and use it for training.

No, not just one mag, I tried three others, same thing. All new mags. Bad batch? Would there be anything else to cause this problem?
