Springs get stuck

The mags looked perfect. That's exactly where it ends. As Nick had mentioned the springs get stuck and I have to give a strong tap to get the spring to push up from the 10-5 round area up to a useable position. Even without ammo, the springs will not slide up. I don't know if I should lubricate them, or try to get a working pair shipped in. The best thing is the 2 day shipping I received. I ordered on late Saturday (more or less) so I knew it would ship out only on Monday and received it on the very next Tuesday. Impressive shipping time. Reading about what Brownells say, I will change my rating on it, if I can get a working replacement in, I was supposed to go shooting tomorrow and now will look foolish with only the stock magazine and waiting for 10rd reloads every few minutes. (I received the mags today 1/22/14 about 3 hours ago.)

Bad Magazines

Just received my twin pack of 10 rd mags for my gsg5(22) and as soon as I took them out of the box knew there was a problem. The springs in these mags are different then the one that came with my gsg522 even though they are identical otherwise. When you go to pull down the spring to load the mag the follower gets stuck and you have to push up hard to release it. Fails to feed any ammunition. Hopefully brownells will send me a working pair, but until then these mags are a no-go for me.
