MK ii Mag failures

[armydoc]

we have a savage mk ii fv-sr that my wife uses as a short range prs trainer. Now from day one of owning that rifle
we have absolutely loved it, except for the magazines. We have had 4 of them (every one we own) start to come apart at the pinch welds and then the mag won't hold any rounds. I have called savage and they sent me replacements (3) and all of them eventually did the same thing.
I am wondering if A. any of y'all have had similar problems and B. Is there a source for aftermarket 22LR mags?

With almost 10k rounds thru my FV-SR, I have had no issues with my 10 round mags. I did have some feed issues with the factory 5 round mag but squeezing in the lips solved that. I have not had one come apart.

I've never had a issue

Are you pushing the rounds straight down past the lips, or are you starting in the middle and sliding the round back under the lips?
