    Thanks!
    I ran mine through a Mike Pannone Vehicle ops class. No issues.

    Mine are good to go as I stated in the HK Pro thread Montrala. I have had no issues with round spillage or anything else for that matter.

    They need a pretty brisk slap to fully insert in a spikes lower/DD MK18 upper, with a full mag, on a closed bolt, but that is expected to some extent.

    The key is to buy them *on sale*

    Mine work fine but they need a strong push or slap to seat in 6 various lowers... I see them as a great first mag as opposed to a reload.

    They have relatively strong spring, to help feeding in very fast cycling carbine (old HK416 10.4" with suppressor comes to my mind). I actually found out that they do not need slap to seat, but rather constant motion and to keep it at top position for split second. This makes mag catch "click" in place. This is for loaded to capacity, with 28 rounds they just seat in place.

    I have the same seating issue with 0 or 30 rounds in the mag... I believe it's the location of the mag catch relative to the pretty thick feed lips. Or my various brand lowers are all out of spec :-)

    For me it will just seat from 0 to 10 rounds. Over 10 rounds requires a smack.

    I must admit that my lower is HK. May have something to do with easier seating or something.
