my original thought was to grind a bit out of the magazine catch, i just figured after a bit more thought that sanding the gas port mightv been a better idea.
glad i took a step back and gathered some opinions,
so thanks.
oh and ya i did one mag with blue sealant, then on a different did a thin coat of rubber sealant/cement, the blue stuff didnt seem to be thick enough in my opinion, same with the glue i tried it on one mag first to make sure it would just blow glue out everywhere or something and theyv survived a full day of gaming plus the most plinking iv done since september.

you aren't suppose to use that much sealant. you are using just enough to fill the gaps that the original seals/orings don't cover plus adhering the seal/oring to both the mag and back plate.
did you let them cure? you need to let them sit for at least 3 days in cooler temperatures. in the summer it can cure in as little as over night. my rule of thumb is three days and I will give it a tiny, less than half second, blip of propane from a near empty can. this gives a slight bit of positive pressure but doesn't disturb the sealant causing it to pull away from the seal. if you gas it too soon, do one or two complete fills with propane and blow out all the bits. this really only happens when it's filled prematurely not allowed to cure.
I don't know where else you used the sealant but I'm sure you did something wrong reassembling it. there is no way that the feed lips would end up a millimeter or two higher than what they started at.
