Is it possible the mag catch is bent? Do have another to replace it with?? Might be worth a try...
.
Could the Lower be out of spec and the Mag Catch is actually higher (closer to the Bolt) in the Mag Well than design, making the mag next to impossible to latch on a closed Bolt?
What make is the Lower?

I had a similar post a long time ago. Long story short, 2 lowers from 2 manufacturers and 2 uppers from different manufacturers had the same issue. It got better over time. Its still a stiff bitch, but getting better.
I was getting some wear in one upper towards the top, just outside of the charge handle channel. I don't know if I was properly lubricating back then. I would issue an update on that upper, but the ex has it. I will probably never see it again.

Definitely not out of spec. It's Daniel Defense!Haha! I just checked everything out and it was in order. Took out the bolt cleaned it up played with it a little bit and everything seems to be working. I'll have to compare it to one at my local to see if there are any differences in the amount of pressure it takes to seat a mag with bolt closed. Thanks again for all the replys and suggestions.

I've noticed that if the second to the top round in a mag is nose up, the mag can be nearly impossible to seat. I think the top round and second to the top round bind up when this happens. Grab a mag and pull the 2nd to the top round nose up and see if it binds.
