Maybe try and swap some followers maybe the follower is just a little too big or something

I bought an East German parkerized mag in 7.62x39 several years ago and have the same problem. Never have figured it out!!

Good idea. I've had the experience of buying a brand new magazine that has a follower that was slightly too large for the body. I swapped the follower with another and both magazines worked.

ok boys figured it out. theres a bent up lip on bottom of the follower spring that attaches to the floor plate make sure the lip is going within the center of the follower springs body. if not the lip will catch on the outside of the last rung of the follower spring and not allow the follower spring to be completely depress so you'll be short 3 rounds in the mag. it took me like 5 times of taking apart the mag and other mags to figure this fucker out.
