It looked like a partial blowout or had somehow rolled out of place. After reseating them and reapplying oil to the entire thing, it seemed to be fine. The customer later said he sealed up the o-ring with grease, and hasn't had problems since.

Unfortunately, the reliability of KJ mags has always been questionable, and for all those who doubted my negativity and criticism towards their mags, this is continued living proof of the crap rubber that KJ continues to use. If the possibility ever arises to get piles of the o-ring rubbers as standby, I'd highly recommend doing so, and storing them in a cool dry place in an airtight container.
