    Hold the two mags together feed lips to feed lips and just see what the difference is in the gap...
    I did that, matched them as close as I could and the rounds were sitting differently which makes me think it's the back piece that is lower than the other causing it maybe.
    I'll take pliers with me to the farm tomorrow and have a play around with the tabs and see if I can get it feeding better.

    The springs only make sense one way round as there is indents on the base plate that the springs sits in, but if it's still feeding poorly I'll try swap the spring around and see if that helps too
