If your p-mag is in all the way the diagram of a bullet on the side of the mag that says: "5.56X45" should be half exposed at the top of the receiver.

Very interesting!!! Gonna post some more pics. Think were getting somewhere now, Thank You!

I had the same issue on my CNC80 with 10 round mags. None of your photos show the area where the mag hits the back of the mag opening. Mine was hitting at the bottom, not allowing the mag to slide up quite far enough.

Look at the back edge of the mag well and see if the mag hits there. Picture 4 and 5 looked like mine. Pictures 1 2 3 all look like the mag is too deep in the well. Can't help you there.

This is what I'm assuming is the problem. Try a metal mag. They don't have stops to hit the bottom of the well.

Good point. I have a 30 round shell (since a complete mag would be illegal) and it slams in no problem. I chose to grind off the plastic on my mags but I may rethink that since borrowing a mag won't work. I guess I'll dremel the mag well so anything fits.

Funnel it dude. A nice rounded flair.

***Waiting for these Damn Pics to send in My Phone! Stand by Please, I will Post more close up pics in a Moment, Think you guys are right though..... Just want to be 100% Sure.

Ahahahah.... How many calgunners does it take to figure out a problem?

[Wicked One]

Ok, Sorry All..... I had Some Damn Technical Difficulties , To say the least!
So I think what my Problem is now, hearing from most of you(Thank You all)is that the Bottom of My Magwell needs to be "Opened" up More to allow my Mag to slide in Deeper? (Ya, I know... "Thats what She said" )
Here are a Few More pics...... When my Magazine(s) are slid all the way in i can NOT see any of 223/556 lettering on the P-Mag as one of the Fellas said earlier.
So by all of this and looking at the Pics, would the vast Majority say this is my Problem? If So, should I just take a File to it or??
Thanks again to everyone for the input & Help.... CALGUNS ROCK!!!!!

You could file or dremel the bottom of the well. Or file the mags. Best would be to mill out the offending sections of the magwell to allow the mags to clear

Ok Thank You Buellster! I think I have a good Tool to use for this, it's a hand held air Belt Sander..... I'll just take a little at a time until it clears and locks in.

I will post up what progress came after I am done just in case someone else ever runs into this? (Because I did try to search and could find NOTHING for what my particular issue was)

Thanks again to everyone's Help & Input!!!

I've noticed on some 80's that I have done there is a bulge in the magwell where the mag catch stud goes threw. May ormay not be a prob.

Thanks Jamesob! I don't "think"(??) that is my problem though..... My Mag will slide all the way in until the Rib on the Mag starts to hit the Bottom of the Magwell(at least that what seems to be the issue??).

So I guess I'm gonna Ream the bottom opening of my Magwell up some. Crossing My fingers this does the Trick.
