+1 ask the smith to fix it. That you believe it's a bushing problem. Which they installed.

They said they'd cover the charge of the smith I take it to. One thought, did the original bushings have to truly be destroyed on the initial disassembly even if they were locked In with loctite? Couldn't they heat it or use that tool to remove them? I hope they didnt strip the originals just for a profits sake of charging me $24 extra on my bill for some replacements. They wouldve gotten maybe $10 on profit from going through that trouble which is why I doubt they went that route but still makes me think.

They probably damaged the originals as they said. At that point you would want new ones anyway. Hopefully they gave you challis ones. I love those little things as long as you also use the O rings.

Well a $5 nail filer fixed the problem. Mag drops free now with just a few thousandths of a inch shave on the bushings.

The first thing to re-check is whatever was just changed.
Good to hear that you got it fixed.
