I order 2 of these mags and one, the follower binds up an inch down. I call the company and tell them 1 of the 2 is bad.they say they're sending me a good mag and a return envelope for the bad mag.
today I get home and I have 2 good mags and no return envelope :)
so how to fix the bad mag? try to pry it out at the spot its binding, or file a little off the follower?
thanks

Side is probably dented in. I'd try to dent it out.

Check for dents especially on the corners. I used a 3/4" square steel stock piece in a vise and a rubber mallet to get a few back in working shape.

The follower can also be bent. They should slide easily the full length of the body.

Try the follower from a good mag in the bad mag and vice versa. That should easily identify and confirm where the problem lies.
