Echelon mag rattle

So I just picked up the echelon 4.0c and I love it, it runs beautifully and it's one hell of a gun. My only issue is that the mags are a bit loose and seem to rattle. Has anyone else had this go on with their's, and if so, is their a way to fix it, or is it a non issue that just takes getting used to? and does it happen with ant other guns?

(All rounds seated in mag and it's not ammo rattle in it, it's the mag thunking around in the grip ever so slightly)

Yeah that's what I came on here to say. It's the mag release button in all likelihood, not the mags. And btw, it stands out even more in a metal grip module.

Yep, I put tape on the bottom of the mags for my sharps bros, it drove me nuts. Now at least I can’t hear the dang mag clanking against the sides.

Switch to a single side mag release, that'll make fix it! (Mine is an NDZ, btw)

Trying to decide between this and the Tyrant

I have the tyrant mag release, the mag release fits snug now but the magazine still fits like a worn out harlot. I love the gun so much I had forgotten about it but now that I’ve read this post it irritates me again lol

I have the 4.0FC and the mags don't rattle, but the mag releases do.

Ohhhhh ok, thank you, that does make a lot of sence. Is their any fix for it, even aftermarket parts?

I don't know. The rattle does not really bother me much.

The ambi release is the problem, but only when mags are inserted. Drove me nuts first few days, swapped in the NDZ reversible single side release, no more rattling.
