Factory mags as in Plastic? Junk those and get the sten mag
conversion. Ask this question on the MGN homepage:

I have a cobray M12 and also had jamming problems until I got metal
magazines. Since getting rid of the plastic factory mags, I haven't had a
jam yet! I got my metal 32 round mags from an add in shotgun news for
about$29 bucks. I also, see them at gun shows every once in a while.

FWIW:
I have an open bolt, select-fire Cobray M11/9mm. I have no problems with
feeding it 115 gr. FMJ from the plastic 32-round mags - even in full-auto.

I used to have a semi-auto closed bolt Cobray M11/9mm & I had a lot of
feed problems with the plastic mags, at least 1 or 2 jams out of 100
rounds.
