Gunsmithing Need help with McRee 10 round 308 magazines.

[Petrov]

Hi guys, my McRee magazines (I have 2 of them) have the followers tilting during the last 2-3 rounds like clockwork. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I sprayed the inside with remington dry lube and it is not helping.
And is there a way that I can clean up/polish the lips? The burs in the lips are scratching whole chunks out of the brass and I get brass shavings all over my action. I do not have these problems with my AI mags.

Thanks.

Just curious what caliber? Mine was a 308 and fed flawlessly then I rechambered to .260 and the rounds did not always clear the feed ramp. They were not too long , just did not feed right in the mag.
I bought some AI mags and they feed great. The shape of the hump and the location were different between the two followers. The mcree was just a touch shorter and farther forward than the the AI.

308 winchester. The magazine followers tilt and jam like clockwork.

Try bending the spring that supports the front of the follower upwards, this should give it more pressure.

I would call Mcree they are stand up folks, may be. Burn on the mag. Also took some material off my feed ramp when I seat bullets long the round sometimes caught on he ramp. This happened with ai ,mags also
