    All this talk of mags got me motivated to give mine a bit of TLC. A little bit of gentle persuasion with a hammer, some new springs and a touch with the dremel and they're just like new.

    You like doing things the hard way. I'm just using SPS now, once I found that they worked well I just bought a bunch of them.

    Ive got one still new in the bag, so I ran the calipers over it to get the feed lip dimensions. Sure enough the 4 I use all the time had spread out a bit.

    Did the lips take much work.

    My SPS ones are not that flexible.

    So if I muck with them without a jig I could wreck them.
