The New Automag Part 3

Of course, I use to shoot the relatively cheap Remington JSP 158's in my 357 AMP and they were great.  They haven't been available for years.  With the cost of components (bullets/brass), I see the desire to switch to lead.   I'm working on casting some bullets, but not for the AMP.

I wouldn't call it 'recently' but I am late to report that I finally got my Founders Edition delivered to me in late February this year, north of the border, in the Great White North. It took ages to get (ordered back in 2017), with several delays due to accessories I had ordered with it as well as needing to use an import/export business to get it here. I am still waiting on a very important extra part that is still not made yet, as well as a couple parts kits that were on my order. But at least I got the FE in hand, just under the wire before the dorks in federal gov't here put a freeze on handgun purchases (morons,...  that's a whole other story I do not wish to discuss because of the irritation it causes me - those A-h@*#'s have basically created a valueless piece of scrap metal out of my FE, that I can't even bequeath to anyone here now,  according to their new authoritarian-commie-undemocratic and pretzel logic legislation). 

Anyways, I digress.  It's a beauty, but I have had life distractions of late and still have not made a new batch of .44 AMP reloads to try it out. 

First though I have to sort some mechanical stuff out with it, as almost all the mags I ordered with it are quite tight in the mag well.  They do NOT drop free.  Has anyone else had this problem with theirs? I have to contact Patrick sometime when I get the chance about this. The bolt release is also not releasing properly.  Not sure if I got a lemon or if there is something that is misadjusted right from the factory.

cheers.

It has it has been awhile since I have posted.  The last time I posted my Automag classic edition was being returned to the manufacturer to have a problem corrected. Without going into detail, there was a manufacturing and assembly problem with the accelerator block hole in the upper receiver. Automag replaced the barreled upper.
