Yeah...unlucky me it doesn't fit for me...switching/take off base plate do work...so it's just the base plate is a bit too blocky..

The bottom of this mag's base plate is a weird symbol that is not we-tech, but the rest of the mag looks 100% the same to me..taking off the base plate does allow me to use the mag..

I obviously don't know what this logo is:

There are other brands of magazines out there that are non WE and TM. Just do a comparison between your stock mag and the new one you bought. Paint is usually a give away..... try looking at the fill valve and the thing gets get hits by the hammer (forget the name lol). If there are far to many differences then you know it is a different brand. Sometimes WE mags don't have any sort of packaging on them so it can be really hard to tell if your actually getting a WE mag.

As for the follower that is normal on 90% of all my WE magazines. Just knock it down with your finger as your pulling down the spring.

The thing about the stripped hop up screw and broken follower is that all these issues are very minor. To be honest and I'm sure many other players on here will tell you is that WE Glocks are very reliable. Yes there are issues but nothing you can't fix.

As for the base plate try sanding a portion of it down a bit it. I''ve done it before with other base plates.
I looked at the 2 mags, they are completely the same..I checked all the areas you mentioned..

yeah, the hopup thing, I fixed it..so meh..the replacement screw was hard to find tho..found it off ncix's tech screw jar...big thanks to them

the thing is, paying for a product that is broken or different is really weird and wrong..I contacted heroes, and if they are not gonna do anything, then yeah, I'd probably have to sand it off..or even get a different plate for me to use..


I did send them an email, but no reply, so I called them today at like 11am pst. Person told me to send another email to their other mail box..okay..but no reply at all for the rest of the day..

well, I will be waiting another day to see what they will reply...
