9mm MAGPUL glock mags and AR9

[Gman]

NO I went away from LRBHO due to everyone's complaints they dont work reliably.

...then load the mags with 26 and call it good.

smart ass

I swear you said that somewhere before? You think I could try just the spring first?

Why not. BUT make sure if you do it's from a pre 13, 33 rd, factory glock mag. Or buy a 3 pack from brownells.

Someone had replacement 31,33 round mag spring replacements, I think it was the glock store for $5

REPLACE the mag spring with a factory 33 rd one as well as the follower.

IMO it's the only way to go when using anything but factory 33rd glock mags. 1st thing is run them, then replace as necessary. The KCI & other korean 33 rd units. When you pull the spring and compare to factory. There';s at least 4-6 coils difference.

The feed ramp and buffer weight have nothing to do with mag not feeding last round. Especially when the other 26 cycle fine.

Actually, my issue isn't with feeding the last round, but rather with feeding anything other than ball ammo.

[Hoser]

Would something like that aftermarket TACCOM feed ramp fix this issue?

Asking for a friend.

Yes. The TACOM ramped barrel is a worthwhile upgrade.

does it have a feed ramp? If not the taccom easy to install one is the way to go.

No, my current uppder doesn't have a feed ramp. Did you have to remove any material from the bolt carrier in order to make room for the ramp?

I ended up going away from a dedicated GLOCK mag lower and did the MEAN Endomags, the PMAG conversion supplies a feedramp so to speak and works with ALL ammo. Also locks the bolt back on last round.

The only downside is the ejector is on the mag conversion so if I have a malfunction I have to change my mind set to pull the bolt back lock then drop the mag instead of the normal way.

I'm using the Endomags, too, and I installed the Magpul BAD Lever make locking the bolt back easier. I also found that the Maglink coupler wouldn't allow the second mag to feed.
