A full mag? Try downloading to 28 rounds or using a Pmag.
Empty, no idea why that would happen. |

Quoted: Mine does it empty and 2 short. It is going to be a bit harder with the bolt closed, but nothing a firm insertion won't overcome. |

Mine inserts properly with 3 short. I'm not new to this platform, and I have slapped the hell out of the bottom of a full mag and it will sometimes insert, but not normally full.

maybe the notch in the MAG is a bit off, and doesnt connect with the mag release properly ? or vise versa. have you tried multiple mags ?

I have been using the magazine that came with the rifle, but I did get a couple of Lancer(?) translucent magazines a couple of days ago, those do seem to go in fine with 30 rounds, I guess I gave bushmaster too much credit in thinking they would give you a decent magazine with the rifle. Thanks for the help.

OP what you are experiencing is not a defect with your BM. Its an issue with all AR/M16 rifles. If using mil spec alum mags just dont fully load mag (keep 2 off). PMags dont have this problem.

That's an interesting statement as I have never had that problem with any of the 16's that I was issued, nor my friends ar's. |

First realized it at a defensive carbine course and the instructor pointed it out on a few people's rifle there. I didnt have that problem with the pmag |

Just ordered some PMag 30 MagLevels. That should do the trick.
