Exactly where I’m headed. I’m sure I could get new springs and figure these mags out but when I compare them to the steels I’ve had for 20 years that have required nothing to maintain, I’m leaning towards getting used to 30 rounds again with no ongoing effort to maintain God willing. I’m fairly...

Just the normal ammo rotation as new batches come in the door to replace the stuff I’ve shot. It’s always Blazer or Federal and the same ammo is being used across dozens of PCC’s, pistols, m11 30 round mags etc… with no issues. To be clear each mag started having issues within weeks to a month...

An update for anyone interested and pictures are included. I Removed the VBS and found I enjoy the groupings and manageability better so that’s a win! Original mags again ran flawlessly but have two types of malfunctions with the shockwaves. The first looks to clearly be a spring issue as...

I’ll definitely break down all mags and take a look and also remove the VBS to level set. Funny enough I went and looked at the last mag failure after the helpful responses here and the next round (left magazine) has clearly been impacted by something. The mag on the right is the correctly...

I’m changing ammo all the time LOL. Besides that I haven’t really paid attention to impact on the bullet but am getting more determined to fix this so I’ll start paying attention. I did measure the gap between the feed lips and on the shockwaves, there’s no space when I insert a mag loader but...

Thank you and they do indeed! I found them yesterday evening and it made me think they’re well aware the springs need replacing from time to time. I’ll admit I did not know spring fatigue was a thing as I’ve never had an issue with any magazine for any of my firearms, including the steel mags I...

Thank you both! Sounds like spring fatigue is where I need to focus. Cheers!

Hi All, hoping the experts can help me understand what issue(s) I’m encountering. I bought 6 50 round shockwave magazines about a year ago for my M11/9 running a Lage max 11 MK2 (also about a year old) with Gemtech Viper suppressor, variable buffer (all 3) and Lage gas block. Each mag probably...

Thanks for the replies Tinman. It definitely fits my OEM upper (but that’s useless since it can’t hold an optic). It doesn’t go on nicely on my aftermarket side cocker unfortunately and I want the benefit of the Lage slow fire good ness either way. I was surfing Lage’s site (insane to see how...

Hello! I’m just getting back into the game after basically having the Mac in a safe for 17 years (raising kids blah blah blah). My enthusiasm to get everything sorted far outweighs my actual knowledge. So after scouring the Internet for a maker of collar brackets for the viper and receiving 6...
