SAR B6P magazine dropping issue
« on: March 16, 2014, 05:13:44 PM »
Hi everyone, new member here.

I had my new B6P out at the range for the first time on Friday. Ran 100 rounds with no fail to feed, fire or eject! BUT, on 4 occasions, the magazine fell out! After the first couple of times, I was careful and kept my thumbs away from the mag release, but it happened 2 more times. I was only loading 10 rounds at a time, and it seemed to happen after the 7th round each time. The magazine seats easily without have to "slam it in".  The follower is a little rough, but I loaded several rounds into it after I got home and looked to see if it was hitting where the notch is, but it didn't look like it was.

I ordered another magazine from Bud's yesterday to see if a different mag solves the issue.  Has anyone had any issues with the magazine dropping?  What should I look for?

Thanks!

See if the new Magazine solves the problem.  Of not, your magazine latch may not be properly engaging and need to be replaced.  If the latter proves true, send it back to the importer for repair.

Thanks jwc. That's my plan for now anyway. I hope it's the magazine.
