The P-Mags failed to feed proper and the old B-Master mags function flawlessly. Here are the two together;

Are the followers the issue?? The P-mags are 10/20's and I belive they are epoxied. Can the followers be swapped or am I screwed???

Thanks, Dave

You might want to contact MAGPUL Customer Service. I have had no dealings with them, but they may be able to help you out more than some folks on a gun forum. You may have an isolated problem that they would like to know about and rectify.

So you're saying it's a 20 round modified to 10 correct? I believe I read yesterday in the Magpul Industry section that while it's possible to "block" their magazines like that it voids the warranty.

ETA:

I believe that the above pics demonstrates what a 13 round PMAG would look like. There are ways to convert a 13 round PMAG into a ten round PMAG by blocking it. I've done it and seen others do it.

Magpul does not recommend modification or carry warranty for modified parts.

I'm a bit confused here.

Are these 20 round PMAG's?

Don't understand the epoxy.

Followers from the 20 are not compatable with the 30's and vis versa.

More info please.

Looks like the vendor you bought them from modified them. Your best bet is to send them back to them and ask for a refund.

Contact the dealer and tell them they don't work.

They are seating all the way, correct?

This is what I'd do. Our warranty is now void on it as the mag has been modified.

I'm sure I could figure out the problem but not having it in hand it's tough to tell.

Guessing here and I hate too but want to try and help, sounds like it may be the spring?

I have one of these also, which was also purchased from riflegear.com. Mine does not have this problem.

I would contact David at riflegear.

Has Magpul approved these modifications? Seems like there could be copyright infringement by doing this and leaving your name on it...
