Raven .25 magazine problem

[tat2guy]

A friend of mine moved to Germany and gave me a Raven .25 when he left.

The other day I put ammo in the mag, popped the mag in place, racked the slide, dropped the mag and started to top the mag off with another round, when I noticed that the magazine was still full- it had not fed a round into the chamber.

Closer inspection revealed that the ammo was not entirely flush with the lips of the magazine, and was depressed by about an 8th of an inch or so, moreso toward the bullet end than the primer end.

Now I can't unload the magazine and I can't get the ammo to sit properly.

Anyone ever experience this before, and/or have any idea how I can remedy it?

Thanks,
Donno

just a guess, but the magazine spring might be in backwards. This would cause the front of the follower to tip downward and not push the rounds up properly. Picture shows how the follower of the magazine should be well above the lip of the mag. Taking it apart requires pushing the follower down and using a pin or rod to hold the spring down then the follower can be tipped up to remove it. Then the spring can be removed and turned around. Now you have to push the spring back down, hold it with a pin, then reinstall the follower.
Don't know if this is your problem without pictures of the magazine, etc.

Sweet, thanks. I'll look into that tomorrow, and let you know how it goes.
