They must be from the same batch that I got from Golden Tactical last month. Or from the same assembly personnel at S&W. Had no problem once they were assembled correctly.

once my followers were flipped around; they worked fine. glad to see its not pandemic! lol

Virtually all magazines, for any firearm manufacturer, are made by 3rd party suppliers. I doubt any S&W employee ever touched them.

Lousy QC on someone's part, I agree.

Pretty sure that the mags are made by Magpul.
weird on the QC, they are usually better.

Why do you think that? The polymer is completely different. Color, texture, absorption etc.

The Smith & Wesson Rep eluded to it while I was standing with the owner of Magpul at the Shot Show in 2013.

The owner (Rich F.) just smiled.

I took that as a yes.....

MagPul has publicly stated on several occasions that they do not manufacture .22 LR magazines for S&W. Neither are they made by ProMag.

S&W does not identify their magazine supplier, no matter what winks may have been made at some show.

1 good, 1 bad...

OK, I tried out my new mags today and one was fine, the other upside down. Thanks to you folks for giving me the heads up on the issue.

Also received mine (7) the other day and they were also all correct. maybe some got a bad batch that same (new guy) assembler made on same shift. Good lookin' out tho!
Best thing i've done so far for my new 1522 is to join this forum!

Wow! Just wonder how quality control missed those...
