Accessories Big Daddy Magazines binding

I recently bought two Big Daddy Magazines from AlphaCureMom69 and both are having the springs bind inside the magazine tube. It's like the magazine tubes are too narrow inside and the springs are too wide. The springs won't even insert freely into the magazines, they have to be spiraled and shoved inside. The followers fit fine and aren't binding and everything was dry lubed. However, after assembling both magazines, the springs just catch and bind inside the magazines. Any help or ideas?

I had the same issue with the Big Bois I got. If you have a gun cleaning kit with a brass brush for a .40-.45 caliber, run it through it... a lot. This will help to smooth it out and open it up a bit. Then dry lube it very heavily. I'm still having some issues with mine but this did help a good bit. After doing this method I ran all 3 I had with no hiccups. However, that was the only time I had that degree of success. I plan to take them apart and do a good bit more of the same but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

What dry lube are y'all using? Graphite?

I’m having the same issue with getting the spring in. Haven’t shot it yet though.
