M57 slide question

After receiving my Yugo, I gave it and the mags an overnight bath in mineral spirits to remove the cosmoline. Took it out and scrubbed the heck out of it, oiled it again, and reassembled it. It looked great. Things seemed to function well after I lubed it. The slide catch would release with ease with or without a mag present. Two days later, Today, with the mags unloaded, I wanted to play with my Pistol a bit. So I inserted a mag, and tried to release it. It wouldn't budge . I removed the mag, and it released fine. I inserted another mag, had to pull the slide back and forth while pushing down on the release to get it to go. Now I can release the slide with mags in while doing that. But with the mags out, it will close just fine. What am I missing here??? Why wont the mag indicator work without problems? Also, how do I fix this problem? Any and all advice is welcome and thanks in advance.
