The bigger paddle bolt release will make it easier to press but even from factory it shouldn’t take as much effort as you are using. The metal feed lip mags are pretty old at this point, they fixed the feed issues by replacing with clear curved mags and now there’s new black curved mags. I used to have some FTF issues and had been mulling swapping the lower but it’s been running fine now and I can’t really justify the price.
It just seems the tolerance is super tight and it’s just getting jammed up. Added some lube to each side and it’s seems to be a little easier. Idk if running it suppressed clogs it up more or not, it’s not the end of the world but it caught me off guard in the beginning when I pushed it down and nothing happened until I really pushed it
Sick set up, man! Hope that bolt release smooths out for ya.
I was thinking about getting a stribog too, the 5" version.
Seems we have similar taste

@If you know what you’re looking at you can use a fine file to break the edge (because it’s stamped) and that should make it easier.
