Even with truly top-shelf parts/components, the possibility of tolerance stacking cannot be overlooked, regardless of whose emblem appears on the roll-mark. QA/QC should help, but the truth of the matter is that even machine/computer-assisted means are not perfect, and even the best technician/assembler can make mistakes, and the sharp-eyed QC inspector still miss things.
That SOTAR barrel-extension/feed-ramp video I cited above....
^ ...is a perfect example of this, just as Albrecht noted in the narration.
"Trust, but verify," applies here, too.
If that is your personal preference, go for it.
But if you want to load to-capacity, it should not be a problem, either.
In much the same vein of "trust but verify," as the ARBuildJunkies outline to Chuck Pressburg's video noted that same need, where it comes to magazines:-----
@cico7 - why the "sad" react to my post to @David N. , above?
I'm not suggesting that there's anything wrong with his new carbine. I'm simply suggesting that he give it a detailed, objective, examination and look at some easy-to-see areas which not infrequently present with issues - issues that are common regardless of how much someone may pay for the parts or entire rifle, and is not isolated to the roll-marks of any particular brands (i.e. brand-agnostic).

It should have been a wow and I changed it. Your reply was lengthy and WOW describes the detail.
We loaded to 29, because we were experiencing loose rounds in mag pouches due to rough handling of gear. Reducing the capacity by one round seemed to eliminate the issue.

Was that in GI mags or P mags ? I lug around fully loaded P mags in all manner of stupid places and never had that happen.
GI mags back in the day. I have no experience with any other manufacturers, but the PMAGS seem to be good quality.

It's the number one item soldiers deploying overseas spend their own money on before they go.
It's OK - I was just wondering why "sad." Money-shifting the react is definitely just as real of a concern as tolerance stacking.

Ah!
Modern polymer feed-lips tend to hold much better. You won't be able to shake them out, but "shocking" them via inertia can still punt one or a number of them.
