I'm pretty positive all the issues have everything to do with the mags.
If you're experience is different, then I'm happy for you, seriously. I'm a huge fan of ARC, own a Mausingfield and I 100% support Ted because I think he's a great guy and truly tries to put out a top notch product. (Wish I got paid to say that haha)
But the fact is, there seem to be some issues with these so far. You said you have issues with AI mags but my experience is the exact opposite so it all depends. I seem to have feeding issues with these mags and after over 1100 rounds in my rifle and not one feeding issue using AI AICS mags, it's safe to say it's the mag, not my gun. Simple analysis determines that.
Either way, happy they worked out for you and hope everyone can have them run flawlessly soon.
