>buy new spikes stripped lower
>install mag release button and check for proper fit and mag drop with a random gen 2 pmag, all good
>finish rifle, take it to range to shoot, load up mags
>finish first mag, press mag release
>mag doesnt move, have to manually put the mag out of the well
>no
>test with my other mags (pmags, lancer), all other mags will not drop free when empty from the magwell, with some being tight as fuck
>mfw that single mag i initially tested with when building is the only one that drops free when empty
>>28353351
So what was the issue causing the sticky mags?
>>28353495
no idea. I just assumed the magwell was out of spec. Yet that single mag will drop.
>>28353351
If you had built an ak you wouldnt have this problem.
>>28353560
And here we go...
Just get a VP9.
>>28353351
You should have bought a sebenza their fit and finish is superior.
>>28353560
Mag wouldn't drop if you hit the mag release either on an AK, you'd have to manually rock the mag out.

>Order P-01. The fucking thing is my dream gun.

>Wait 10 fucking days because CALIFORNIA YES.
>Take her home, so far so good, dream gun this that.
>Notice one of the grip screws is a little higher than the other.
>Remove the panel.
>The faggot at the factory forced the screw in while the holes were off tolerance.
>Okay, I get it, rubber can be a bitch. So I order a set of wood grips that I wanted to put on anyway.
>They arrive late after Christmas.
>BOTH OF THEM DON'T FIT.
>Both grip screw thread holes are off tolerance by a mil. I'm close to throwing my pistol across the room.
I'll see if my gunsmith can't sand the grips to spec. This doesn't disregard the fact that I'm angry as fuck. I might send it back to the factory whenever I actually have the time to deal with this shit in full.
>>28353908
>mfw I always get the mag stuck
>>28355889
Be angry at yourself. Factory guns always have the risk of over-looked fuck-ups like that. It's your job during the transfer to verify that your weapon is good to go.

I mean, it's a cool story, but how is this unlucky?
Getting in a fender bender?
How about a time I was lucky?
>be 19 at the time
>want to build AR, have all the money saved up
>find out that you can't buy stripped lowers if you're under 21 because lol you might make a "pistol"
>go to fun shop anyway
>chill as fuck asian owner finger fucking a Tavor for fun when I walk in
>ask for lower, when filling out paperwork he just asks "you're building a rifle, yeah?"
>"yup"
>cool
>come back 10 days later because commiefornia
>>28356311
Unlucky for me from the standpoint of paperwork.
God, the paperwork. You'd think with all the monitoring equipment it would all be self explanatory, but I had to write War and Peace after that shit.
>magwell out of spec!
I really, REALLY doubt that.
>>28355889
get and exacto and fix the grips yourself
>>28355889
Should have bought from a quality company like H&K or Glock
>>28356311
Getting into an accident with an ambulance is a fucking bitch
>>28355889
Lol CZ quality
>>28355889
Wow so take a drill bit and drill the hole in the grip a little bigger. Are you this helpless??
How long does it take to do paperwork in commiefornia? Isn't the background check instant? I'm ordering a lower tomorrow and hopefully it will arrive in like four days since it's coming from Washington, so maybe do paperwork on monday the fourth and then wait ten days? Sound about right?
I always get a Shitty example of whatever gun I buy, I never notice the problem it has until I go home and look at it closely. I am like a bad QA/QC magnet and I fucking hate it.
