Why Remington Magazine Follower jamming?

Which rifle??? Which model, so, you left too many variables to answer directly, however if you allow me to get on my soap=box,

I can are refer to a magazine for the notorious Remington 597 in .17 cal,,,,, the answer is "they are junk"!!! The components are cheap, crudely made, ineffective, poorly engineered and otherwise "junk". They have been assembled by monkeys (they could not find a football).

Thank you, now that that is out of my system, most magazines function properly unless they are bent or damaged. Notice i said "most".. try another magazine or two to determine if it is the fault of the magazine or the rifle.

Try disassembling the magazine and polishing the edges of the parts so they slide better.... seems like you could spend a long time attempting a cure before you throw it away and simply buy another magazine.
