I don't know about anyone else but the play in the mag latch was bothering me, and my mags. So went to Ace hardware and found that a Mylar washer at .015 thickness that seemed to do the trick. I hope to get a more even ware pattern on my mags from now on, will see.

Could you expound on the play and where you put the washer? Have a pic?

Yeah, what play is going on? Side to side?

Well, a washer has a hole in it. so I ran the roll pin through the latch then the washer all between the trigger housing. It did have some play were in it would rock side to side. I noticed on my mags the left portion of catch had more ware as opposed to the right side.
I searched the forum and found nothing on this topic so I hope this helps anyone else who may have a problem with this. Sorry My camera wont focus that close, so no pictures.

Wow, I can't get even a .001 feeler guage between my MR and the housing. Are they supposed to be that loose( that you can get a .015 washer in there)?
