I ran a thread regarding 380 C.O.L. due to magazine feed issues I was experiencing. All of my 4 magazines experienced jams at some point, but the results could not be consistently replicated. So I brought my firearm and my magazines out to Pahrump, Nevada, where the Armscor warranty work is done.
They put a rush on my service request, and actually gave me a brand new Baby Rock. Somehow they determined that my firearm had too many problems to fix, so they fine tuned a new pistol, and gave it to me...new case, new magazine, new pistol...cleaned, lubed, and test fired.
I couldn’t be happier....except...they didn’t touch my magazines. I took out magazine #3, so marked during my testing, and loaded up 7 rounds of Winchester White Box 95gr 380...same problem as before. I can actually shake 4-5 rounds out while one or two remain stuck down inside the mag.
I decided to work on the follower with a Dremel, and improved it to the point that it will feed S&B round nose...but it still hangs up with the Winchester...which is a flat nose round. Oh well...since I have 5 magazines now I’ll do some more Dremel work until the followers run smoothly and can slide out of the magazine on their own.
