I think the company is making the magazine catch slot slightly taller, thus engaging the mag-release sooner.
Stolen from a post by Mako, from TOS:
<<quoted from prior poster: I got a batch that seemed a touch out of spec. It took pressure from both thumbs to release the mag so I took a dremel tool and shaved off a few thousands from the top of the mag catch slot. Big improvement.>>
Mako's reply:
The mags were designed to fit the military contract Colt rifles. We just checked them and found them to be right on as far as the Colt drawings (military specifications). It turns out that there are a few civilian market ARs that are just enough out of spec that the mags do not work as well. Checking other mags, we found that they are often just out of spec enough to work in these rifles. We are working on a slight adjustment to the mags, but they will still stay within allowable specifications.
If you happen to be one of the few who have an issue with fit with these mags, the mod you did is exactly the correct modification. We just recommend that you break in the spring first, and don't take too much off.
well, that is funny considering I tried them in three different Colts. I doubt the "military contract rifles" are that much if any different than mine. Mine are tight in (lock with 30 with a smack upward) and tight out (won't drop free) in my Colts and my KAC. Not hating on them, I will use as range mags but just putting out some info.
