Hard to Load RAMI Mag

Hard to Load RAMI Mags

What is up??
6 was hard to load. Finally got 8.
I have a 30 round mag, Beretta, M92, that is easier to load.
The 10 round was almost almost a trip to the emergency room.
Glad I wasn't in a tight somewhere.

Haven't tried the 14 round yet.

Take apart and spray silicone or coat with break free.??
Thanks in advance.

Use magazine loader. After several mag fills it will become a bit easier. Strong spring is needed for reliable feeding.

Have you pulled it apart to clean any cosmoline/protectant left behind that CZ uses?

I recommend to wax the magazine (inside and out).  It will make it really slick and helps repel dirt and moisture (easier to clean).  I wouldn't use anything else on the magazine as it most likely will attract dirt.

Same boat, just bought  a CZ 2075 RAMI and it is hard has h*** to load both the
10 & 15 round mag.  I bought a loader and its still hard.  Were can I get instructions
on how to take the mag apart and what kind of wax to use.  New to hand guns.

There is a small hole in the magazine basepad that you depress (with a small object, the cleaning rod that comes with CZ's fits) and slide the basepad off.  Be careful as the magazine spring and follower will eject itself once the pad is out of the way.  Take a solvent and run a rag through the magazine and wipe down the follower.  Either leave it dry or take a car wax (whatever you have that you use on your car) and wax and buff the inside and outside of the magazine tube.  It will make the rounds feed much smoother and will help dirt/mud/water fall off when resetting at the range (when conditions aren't perfect).

Meguiar's auto polish works great for this - I use it on all mags that I disassemble and clean.

You can try wiping the mag out inside but the spring is what causes the stiffness. Get a good mag loader and use that and as has been stated they will loosen up with subsequent loadings. I never owned a mag loader till I got a Beretta 92 and a couple Sigs. When those 15 rnd mags were new they were nearly impossible to load the last round into.

+1 for mequiars.  I use the newest silicone based but it's pretty spendy unless you've got a vehicle you using it on. Any of their wax products work.  First time I boiled all my mag tubes in water to remove all greases and oils. After cooling take a strip of cloth soaked with wax and draw it through a couple times. After dry draw a clean cloth through once. Repeat with waxed rag and clean rag. Not necessary to get all the wax out.  Once a year I do the waxing without the boiling on my competition mags. Have never redone my regular mags for anything but one Desert Eagle mag that the spring hangs up on once and awhile.

I've never waxed mine(RAMI and Sig Pro), but I take them apart and scrub them inside and out with a toothbrush and Hoppes #9. I use an UpLULA to load all my mags and even then it is hard to get the 15th round in the Sig Pro mags.
