I just bought some Magpul and Lancer magazines from AIM, Inc. to use in my new SIG 556 Commando.
The 30-round Magpuls with windows seem pretty sturdy and slick. The followers move smoothly up and down when I push them with finger.
The 20-round Mapuls, however, are not so slick. When I push the followers into the magazine body, they get stuck and only pop back up when I shake the magazine or otherwise fiddle with the magazine. That's not normal, is it?
Is there a chance that with some use, the followers would "self-lubricate" and smooth out a bit?
BTW, the Lancer 30r-round mags do not seem as sturdy as Magpul mags, but are just as smooth. However, their followers do seem to tilt frontside a bit when I push them in.
