Default Magazine Feed Lips

I recently picked up a CZ 3075 Rami for the wife. It was used, but from a reliable source.

We went to the range yesterday and there were no issues until after she had put about 200 rounds through it. She started getting some FTF issues. I put a couple of mags through and also experienced the same. I had another buddy try to make sure, and the same thing.

I had some issues with my Baby Eagle some years ago, and a new mag solved the issue.

I believe this is a magazine issue, and rather than buying all new magazines, does anyone know if the feed lips can be worked on to alleviate this issue.

I will pick up new mags anyway, but hate to get rid of 3 mags if there is a fix.

I certainly don't want her depending on a firearm until we know that it will shoot every time without failure

I spoke with Mike Eagleshield the Gunsmith for CZ USA and his first suggestion was to replace the recoil spring.

I appreciate both yours and Mike's suggestions. He answered every one of my emails within the hour. Great customer service, and great firearms.

He even gave me a suggestion on a nice tweak for the spring.
