Sig P250 mag / chamber issue..help

[TennJed]

I just picked up a Sig P250 compact 45. I have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I broke it down and cleaned/lubed it and got some snap caps. After cleaning I loaded the mag with the 5 snap caps (AZoom) and the gun will not chamber a round with the magazine in place. the round gets lodged halfway. When I release the mag the round then fully chambers.

I tried holding the mag release button down to fully insert the chamber and that does not help.

I noticed the magazine has a little play to it when it is inserted. Moves a little bit like it is not completely set.

Thanks

Is the slide dragging on the magazine lips? Put a little felt pen mark on the lips and cycle the slide... see any indication of rubbing?

I will try that creeper,

Couple of other notes.

I loaded a dummy round with the actual lead I will be shooting and I had the same problem.

If I push and hold the mag up as far as possible while racking the slide it chmbers without any issues.

It seems to me tht the mag is not going all the way up, so to speak.

Also, one end of the recoil spring is purple, it that normal
