Recently did a range where I got to fire my brand new (out of the bag) c8. I was very excited to be able to see how they work directly out of war stock. I encountered a similar problem I've had with pretty much every range. My mag won't seat properly, at least not the first time. I slam it home, and it slips out, I grab it and slam it 4 or 5 more times to get it to seat, and it slides out. It's causing stoppages and making what should be smooth and quick IA's into a sloppy mess. I've had this in dry heat and in damp wetness, all types of weather. I've made sure to keep lubricant out of my mag well. No luck. Is anybody else encountering this as an issue? I understand our mags have been around the block once or twice, is there any type of mag maintenance that I'm not aware of that might help it seat firmly. I'm finding it really takes some of the fun out of small arms ranges.
I've actually also found that to be a problem with the 9mm as well. I try to get it to seat and by the time I'm picked up my target again, my mag is laughing on the ground at me.
I've seen guys guntape around the mag to try to get it to seat tighter in the mag well, I've never tried it. Something tells me it could cause more problems than it solves.
