A note of caution...

Makes me want to get a few of my P07 mags modified.

dpsk -

I was wondering what was the final result of this issue with your modified P07 mags?

I have a bunch and may want to use this service to modify a few to work in my P10.

Best regards.

Id say a simple small flat file to give a minor chamfer on the inside will take care of the issue thats what i gave mine they work as slick as factory. Just an opinion

It seems a bit extreme for hbi to modify their entire process for this issue, It sound like an isolated occurrence. They seem to be a stand up company as their trying to resolve the concern. But retooling the production over 4 magazines with an issue seem a bit extreme. As long as they correct the issue with those 4 magazines and continue to watch for others to have problems I wouldn't think it necessary or smart to change a tested and reliable process.

Hey All,
I received my corrected mags from HBI last week, and everything works fine now.  It seems that there was a simple mistake in the tool used to deburr the inside of the magazine after the new notch had been cut.  I don't think they'd mind my posting this portion of the e-mail I received regarding the problem:

"What we found is that while they did go through our process correctly (meaning all of the checked/signed steps on the flow sheet were complete), our operator did not use the correct tool to deburr the inside of the magazine. You had mentioned that the inside felt flat and that you did not feel any burrs, which was true, however that back lip of the machined window is supposed to be chamfered or angled so that the rounds do not hang up. And it was not. It was just made flat. So you had a flat, but very sharp edge on both the bottom and top edges of that window on the inside of the magazine body, which explains why the rounds were scraping copper on the way down, and the follower hung up in that one magazine for you on the way back up.
We correctly deburred the magazine bodies, refinished that window, and tested every magazine with 30 rounds (load 15/unload 15/load 15/unload 15) and did not get any round catching, copper scraping, or followers hanging."

 I would imagine that HBI won't let that mistake happen again.
Overall, HBI handled this issue as well as I could expect any manufacturer could.  I am very satisfied and would easily recommend HBI to anyone considering their products.

Cheers, and many thanks to Phil for his help,
