I recently bought this Glock 17 from heroutdoors and had to deal with a easily stripped hopup screw but I blame that on WE and myself..which I fixed..

now the problem goes onto a separate magazine I bought from them..it's the WE G Seires magazine for g17..

There are 2 problems, the bb follower is not following the pull tab, thus if i pull the tab and load bbs it wont work because the follower is stuck on the top, I can use a stick or nails to push the follower down, but I have to do this 70% of the time...

second is that this magazine came with a fat base plate that was different from the picture on their website which is also different than the mag that came with the gun..now this problem is that the mag won't even fit in my glock 17 if the base plate is on because it blocks the mag from being fully inserted...one shot the recoil would just pop the mag out..

is this normal for a new gun and new mags? this is a frustrating experience with WE product...The base plate problem is easy fix but require me to buy the slim plate..wtf..but the follower problem actually prevents me from actually reloading unless I pull the tab then knock the follower down so I can load bbs....

EDIT:
Here is a video I made right after this post...Internet crapping out on me
