It's never ok to produce a lower so out of spec that mags don't drop free..

What is the lower in question? I'm having the same issue, but suspect it just needs broke in. Mine is an Anderson lower with @500 rounds down the tube.
Iirc some lowers don't drop free from lowers that are in spec. It's rare but I think there was a thread here about a bcm that did that some time ago.
The problem in the BCM thread was the over insertion tabs were causing the mags not to seat on a closed bolt.
Many lowers adhere to the MilSpec dimensions of USGI mags(aluminum) not to MagPul mags. I would have more of an issue with USGI mags not dropping free but that's just me.
I get it but Gen 3 PMAGS are being issued now. So back to my original question is it acceptable in mid 2017 If you pay good money for a top tier lower for them not to drop free?
Of course with a curved 30 round magazine with rounds inside, pressure is applied to the back of the magwell creating friction. Although my mags drop free 99.9% of the time with my DD, BCM, and LMT lowers, I still pull them out by hand. Of course I don't play any silly gun games so the extra .5 second involved means nothing...

It would not be an issue for me.
Well, my Seekins billet lower absolutely hates Gen 3 Pmags and any magazines with over-insertion tabs. It's annoying because I have several mags with them. I could grind all my mags, but they work in my DD and my Tavor.
