I just bought some new Labelle mags with tan magul followers and ranger plates. I loaded the mag with 30 rounds. With the bolt closed (forword) I can not get the mag to catch. If I remove 2 rounds to 28 the mag will catch and I can cycle the bolt and chamber a round. I bought 4 mags and this happens with all of them. My older mags have green followers and I do not have this problem. Does anybody have this problem.

I heard that this is a common thing with this follower/floorplate combination. Why people would want to convert a 30rd mag to a 28rd mag in the name of "bling-bling" is something that's lost on me, plus if it's a good quality USGI magazine adding this crap amounts to nothing more than fixing something that ain't broke.

Anyway to answer your question yes, this combination sometimes reduces your magazine capacity.

Seems to be a common problem. Try a couple of green followers in them, that may fix you up.

Thanks for the helpful reply, most kind of you. This is what I suspected, I had some old black followers and put the green ones in them. So maybe I will do a little rework on the tan ones. Again thank you so much for the insight.

Don't butcher the tan magpuls !!!!!!!!!!   They are worth the extra two rounds you lose.  If you don't want them send me an email and I'd buy them from you for enough to buy all kinds of new green followers.  IMO anyway.
