I bought some Tapcos recently that aren't working properly.. I was skeptical about these until I received my first order of 2 30 round magazines.  They actually worked better than expected so when I saw them in stock again somewhere else I ordered 4 of them.  Now of those 4, only 2 work.  2 of them feel like the follower is binding up when loading much over 20 rounds.  When I push down to load the last 10 rounds, the follwer/ spring doesn't push back with much force until the round count is back down to about 20.  In other words if I push down to load round 21 and insert it, the follower doesn't push back up keeping tension on the feed lips.  Is there something I can sand down on these to make them function like the others or is this a warranty issue?  Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the body is collapsed binding the follower.  Sand down the the sides of the follower a bit.  Or work it by hand with a ruler or something and it might wear in.

Have you disassembled them and looked inside then and at the followers?

If the things the other told you doesn't correct it, contact Tapco and i bet they send you replacements.  their warranty is very good.  I think it is a lifetime warranty.  Good luck.
