    I don't know if I would be so quick to say light bullets don't stabilize in these barrels. I have started playing with some Lapua 100 grain bullets and I'm getting some fairly decent groups with...

    Not knowing how adventurous you are, you may want to try and replace one part at a time and see if your problem goes away. I would replace the sear spring first as they can lose their tension after...

    Where does the "goop" come into the story? The OP said nothing about "goop" being present. Could these mags have been loaded at the factory? Perhaps, but probably not. Or maybe it was a trial or...
