How much did you say you loved them?
I love my two that have run like a Swiss watch since I bought them new quite a lot. I paid the same for each of them as what you're asking for your used
fixer upper. I was thinking more like $20.00 and since it weighs 4.2oz, $2.22 shipping USPS First Class. I'm mainly interested in the black follower.
Tim you can have it for $35.00 shipped.

I'm not even wanting to sell the mag, just trying to make a point. It's not even had 5 shells through it since it doesn't work worth a damn. It's Bushmaster. It came with my .450 upper when I bought it last year.
I'll not pay $35 for another one like it.
Box magazines are the Achilles heel of any semi/full-auto system. They work well and then they don't. I'm sorry but things do come from the factory, hosed-up, no matter how world renowned your QA is. My point is, just like keeping the weapon itself, clean and properly lubed, if we are to keep these systems functioning, one Must, become intimate with the system and the magazine, in particular, in this case, and what keeps it working. You might want to ship it back and tell them it hasn't worked since day one, but then again, even that mag will someday give you fits as well. So, you might want to fool around with the none functioning one, learn what makes it tick and then adjust it accordingly. As Hoot has inferred, adjusting the mag ain't rocket science and you'll learn good stuff along the way. Education ain't cheap..
Now, let us help, if you could be very specific about the culprit magazines' ills, pictures help allot, and what you've done to the mag so far, I'll just bet ya, we all can come up with the specific cure., of course this assumes you wanna do this and if you do, you might want to start a new threat and call it something like "Need help with a magazine. To be sure, the first thing you MUST do, while physically working on the weapon system, is to hold your tongue, out of your mouth, on the right side only, if you do so from the left, everyone is going to think you are an Obama wanna-be..wink..
