Haven't bought a WE mag in a few years but the ones that I bought came with the flat base plate and not the fat extended one.

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.
