I have 5 Pmag magazines. When I load them with all 15 rounds the magazine will not engage when put into the rifle. It will with the bolt locked back, But when I just load 14 rounds, They click right in without any problems. Is this common? They all feed in the rifle. Its just when fully loaded they don't engage unless the Bolt is locked back.

It's very common. I always load to 14. Loading to 15, I have to really smack it to seat properly.

Very normal. Whoever did your mags wanted to make sure that the magazines only hold 15 rounds.

Try arms n ammo's 15 rd metal mags..i have 4 and they perform perfectly..close in price also

I have several different 15 modified Magpuls and some work fine, others are too tight. Guess depends who makes them. MidwestPX are tight. Ones I got from riflegear.com are fine. (shrug)...

My AnA mags are fine with 15. My pinned pmags will not lock in unless the bolt is open. Also, the pmag tops will not clip on with 15.

glad I saw this- just answered a wtf moment I will have next week when I break out my new pmags.My AnA's work great btw

Mine are made tight because I don't want a 16th round fitting under any circumstances. Sure, the bolt won't strip a round off but laws are made around absolute capacity, not functional capacity. Additionally, the manual of arms for this platform specifies locking the bolt back, inserting a mag then releasing the bolt as the proper method of making ready. One of the few times you should be loading against a closed bolt is a tactical reload. Even then, I personally recommend downloading your mags. The majority of students I have trained with download to 28 even though PMAGs are designed to hold 30 and load against a closed bolt. This is because when you're working with a hot carbine, you WILL fight your rifle to load 30 against a closed bolt and none of us want to be "that guy" holding up the line from the next string of drills.

OK cool, Just making sure there is nothing wrong with my rifle or magazine. I only have Pmags for my AR and they are great.

i second this!!
