Hey guys, the new 5.56 mags are having binding issues with the followers, this is forcing pressure on the lips and has cracked a users

What’s the plan to fix them?

Wieger mags are the answer.

Not sure what you're using now.  But the Wiegers are built like tank.

Sorry that’s a bit off topic

PSA just released their new steel reinforced 5.56 AK mags, lots of 5.56 AK owners were ecstatic about these and initial reports are they are fitting every gun unlike Weigers, however they have bent followers

All four of my magazines have warped/bent followers that do not allow the spring to contract enough for more than 20 rounds to be inserted into the magazine. In another forum, every user who received theirs has the same problem. I don't want to share their pictures without permission.

PSA, is it possible to send us new followers for these? I called Customer Service today and they could only offer a return/exchange.

I was probably looking at the same forum, but a couple guys put WBP followers and springs from their 5.56 mags into the PSA mag bodies and they work perfect, so it’s clearly a bent follower issue, can we just get new followers instead of sending them back?  Seems nuts to do a FULL exchange

Talking with PSA: it was a small batch, if your followers are bent, contact:
