Is it denting the projectile or the cartridge case?


Look for burrs or sharp edges in the magazine or on the ejector. Work the action slowly with dummy rounds so you can see the cartridge moving through your rifle's action - also look at the chamber mouth to see if there is a shard of metal here where it shouldn't be.

Contact S&W. They should be able to help you.

No, not when it comes to Norinco magazines for pistols, at least.

The single stack version holds up to eight rounds and the double stack version holds up to 16 rounds.

There are other 9mm magazines (AR-15), however, that can hold up to 32 rounds. Here are some of them: https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/category/parts-and-accessories/magazines/ar-15-magazines/9mm-mags.do

Please have a qualified gunsmith evaluate this gun!

Hello,
I was unable to locate a replacement base for the magazine, but used to when mag wells were added to 1911s, we would glue a piece of hard rubber or plastic to the base. You may have to shape it to match up. Easy fix if you have the materials.
