    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.

    Nah bugger all. Without getting the calipers out to check the actual measurements. The rear of the mag that holds the round in was 10mm which hadn't changed on the used mags. It was only towards the front, the new mag was 11.60ish and the old mags varied out to 12.10mm, so just a gentle tap with a soft head hammer to get them closer to spec.

    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.

    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.
