After giving up on the Metalform .22LR "Colt Ace" magazines for my Marvel Unit 1, I've begun exploring other options for magazines.

Midway sent me a Kimber .22LR magazine that will hand cycle the first 5 rounds or so perfectly, but will fail on every of the last 5 rounds. Jams are due to the round tipping up prematurely and not chambering. Does it sound like it's a matter of a uniquely defective magazine/springs, or are Kimber magazines not fully compatible with the Marvel system? I've read other reports of success, so I assume that isn't the issue.
 
Sorry I can't help with the compatability of the marvel conversion and the kimber mags, but the kimber mags that I use with my kimber conversion work fine.
