I did not have a chance to hit the range to test my modified follower. To simulate and test the durability of the modified follower, I pulled my AK charging handle to the back as far as I could and let it slammed forward for more than 20 times. My modified follower caught the bolt and kept it stay open flawless every time.
I disassembled my Tapco magazine to inspect the follower. Visual inspection, I did not see any damage to the follower. It looks as good as new. On the other hand, I noticed a tiny horizontal mark on the screw, no other damage to the screw. 20 times of simulation for BHO is equal to 600 rounds of feeding from the same magazine. As the result of the test, I can conclude that my modified follower can stand up for at least another 100 times of BHO. To add more strength to my modified follower, I added some J-B weld to the inside of the follower.
