    My JD Machine "stripped" lower works fine and drops empty P-mag gen2 and gen3, as well as Brownells USGI 20rd, mags as it should. Another data point. The Aero Precision upper that is mated to it fits and functions well.

    Scott... it wasn't out of spec.. it was bent from being fallen on. VERY different thing.

    I'd like to see your documentation about how their stripped lowers/uppers are of a "lower QC level". Been using their parts for quite a while and not had any issues.

    About forged lowers and bent sidewalls. This is not that uncommon and can usually be "fixed" by using the tape and old mag trick.

    Had the same issue with a different manufacturer. Call them to send it back. No home self-fixing will make you feel confident in the out of spec lower you have.

    This, thank you AKDoug

    The dysfunction was induced by me, not the manufacturer.

    How do you fall on a lower so hard to bend it?

    I really do not know. I lost my balance in the mud trying to stand after a transition drill kneeling behind cover (dry firing, no mags). I'm guessing my knee was the force multiplier on the empty magwell.
