What steel mags are you comparing to?

I've had 1 m3 not drop out of my LWRC. Other than that good to go. Still pisses me off tho
Whatever the issue it sounds like a file and three minutes solves the drop-free problem. Not a BFD.
I just wanted to add that last Thursday I received my new Colt 6920LE MAGPUL Edition that came with a Gen 2, 30 rnd Mag and in addition I also 3 more MAGPUL Gen 3. 30 rnd Mags to go with it. I have now tested all 4 mags with and without rounds in them and I'm happy to say that all 4 so far have worked flawlessly. Each one has dropped without hanging up in any way. Hopefully the trend will continue.
I bought 4 gen 3's from midway...all of them drop free from my Sig 516.
I have 17 PMAG 30 Gen M3. They are from 2012. The three I took out of the wrapper will not drop out of my Colt M4, my DDM4V7lw, or my S&W M&P 15. The other 14 are still in the wrapper. I emailed Magpul and asked to exchange. I have not yet received a reply. I expect the recent production PMAG 30 Gen M3 magazines drop free.
I recently got 3 Gen M3 10 rounders, 5 30 rounders, and two 40 rounders. They all drop free. I also have a bunch of PMAG 30 Gen 2 and they all drip free from all three carbines. I use nothing but PMAGs.

Will check today and make sure my window M3 Pmags drop free from my KAC and BCM lowers
Gen3 30, Gen2 30, and USGI 20 all drop free from my JD Machine lower. The Gen3s were purchased in March IIRC.
I've got 2 SR15's made earlier this year that gen 3 pmags don't drop free from. the gen 2 pmags work fine.
haven't tried them on my bcm lowers yet, or on my sr15 from 2009.
