Had trouble finding springs, everyone was out. I finally snagged a 10 pack of Wolff springs on Brownells and the last ISMI spring Midway had in stock.
All arrived today. I've only installed one, a Wolff, but now the 8 round mag will only fit 7 rounds. I seem to remember reading something about this and that after they take a set you can get the 8th round in. It seems unlikely however since the 8th round is a LONG WAYS from being able to go in.
Looking at the spring, it's got the same number of coils as the original, but one of the coils has a bend.
All 10 have the same bend so I guess it is part of the design, but I think that bend is what is keeping it from compressing far enough.
Anyone have the same experience? Any solutions?
