Have you fired it with different magazines??

Polishing the feed ramp definitely made a difference in my S'G' I'd go for it.

To help isolate it, try firing the carbine with the magazine sitting on a table or something putting some pressure on the magazine. If if feeds good, the mag catch is the problem. A good M2 USGI one will fix it.

Yes I have tried quite a few different types and the 15 round mags have fewer FTF then the 30 round mags. And i did change out the magazine catch with the M2 type. I have magazines that were supplied by Inland, Fulton, Keep Shooting and Korean made ones, have no favorites among them. I am leaning towards carefully polishing the feed ramp.

Thank you,
 I failed to mention in my original post that i had changed out the mag catch with the M2 type along with changing the cross bolt safety with the lever type. I have noticed that some mags fit tighter then some other ones i have.

Thanks for the advice, i tried polishing it with my Dremel with cylinder shaped fob & some jewlers rouge but i didn't have the cone shaped Fobs to do a proper job. I have seen these fobs on Ebay but haven't gotten around to buying some yet. I will give them a try. I am also trying different case lengths on my reloads to see if that is an issue.

  Yes, I have tried 4 different manufactures with nothing to write home about, they all function about the same, 15 round function a little better then the 30 round ones. I won't give up trying to solve this FTFeed
issue. 

Thank you.
Glenn

I touche on this on  an earlier post. If you have to slap the mag to set it, the little tabs need to be filed just a little bit. Retry with the mag full to see if you have filed enough. I found this mag repair on YOUTUBE.

I checked out the Milsurpls site. Very disappointing review. I was considering getting a new one but at a grand I am having second thoughts. Maybe I'll look for another USGI and wait until they work out these issues. Hopefully they will.

Here is the up dated Advisor.  I added a 2/1 sling to it, and replaced the laser/light combo with a high output Green Laser. This is good out to 300 yards in daylight, and way farther than it will shoot at night. Took it to the range and it is Awesome !    













Wish I had this sling in Nam. It can go from a single point to a traditional 2 point in about 10 seconds. 

This is how it is used in the single point configuration. This allows the advisor to be pushed out using the forward grip stop to have tension on the sling for stability almost as solid as a rifle. Below is a similar style sling shown for clarity only. It can be pivoted around so the gun hangs along your side, then quickly put into action when needed.
