Check the vertical aluminum link that joins the curved flat brass link on the mag. to the lower bevel gear. Your photo demonstrates that it is clearly twisted. Happens when the mag lube gets hardened or some other obstruction keeps mag from rotating easily. You can twist it back to original, just do not use the top arm as leverage. Clamp the I-beam section in an adustable wrench, and using another adjustable on the other end, twist it back to original. Have done it several times with 100% success.

What are you seeing that indicates the vertical is twisted?
