    A bit of a whack then measure, repeat till better or broken.

    To be perfectly honest, I haven't had any issues aside from the springs getting tired. It was mainly because I'm doing a full maintenance check on the gun before France, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.
    I would have rented ya out my shotty one😆

    Cheers for that.

    I will have a measure up when I get home but only one has given me issues.

    Let me know when you have it in front of you and I'll give my mags a measure up to double check what it should be. Those numbers quoted were from 2 days ago, they may or may not be correct, my memory can be rather porous.
