I have an intratec ab-10, ive had it about a year. it came with a kimmel arms ap-9 mag, which i guess is interchangable. it never worked without jamming at least 3-4 times a mag. It was suggested to me i need real tec-9 mags, i got a 50 rd steel aftermarket mag, a 32 round factory, a 36 round aftermarket, and a 32 round aftermarket mag. These did not solve the problem, the 50 rd'er jams every 2-3(!!) shots. i have had only one malf. with the 32 rd factory, but i would like this gun to work at least fairly well. any ideas?

Not sure you are goping to find a fix for this firearm. I have never heard anyone rave about the Intratec firearms. I have read a lot trying to find a way to make my Tec-22 more reliable, but have pretty much given up on my quest.
I think I got lucky with my purchase, because I don't have many problems with the firearms itself, but I would like to get it tweaked so it will fire anything I put through it.
It's fun to shoot, and cheap to boot.

btw, the way the gun jams is the empty shell will catch between the bolt and the ejection port, when the bolt is slamming home, and sometimes, not as often, it has failure to feed problems, where the bullet nosedives into the top of the receiver, almost going vertically.
is there any way to tune the extractor on this gun? i swear that is what causes the stovepipes, the whole extractor system on this gun looks cheap.

sounds alot like mag issues.try hotter ammo,and a different factory mag.i.e. try some wolf ammo and a newer mag.alot of the aftermarket mags are junk.you can adjust the extractor using an allen wrench.put a fake round in there and loosen the extractor screw.let the bolt slowly go forward.when it stops,retighten the allen screw.theres not much to them-basically a flat bar held in the bolt by an allen screw.you can adjust it,just takes patience.
