Replaced standard AK47 follower with a Bolt Hold Open follower keeping bolt open when last round is fired!! Turning your standard mags to BHO mags similar to the Yugoslavian AK mags keeping bolt open on last round. The AK empty mag click is no more!!! The major advantages to this are obvious, for one you know your empty and its time to reload, a must in a self defense situation! failures to fire are instantly noticed because the bolt does not stay open and a click is heard.Safety keep your bolt open to check chamber clean or for range master look over. Now guys the bolt closes when you pull the mag out it does not turn the AK into an AR it simply tells you its empty and pulse is felt similar to an AR indicating empty keeping you from wasting time aiming or running around with an empty chamber.
Compatible with all standard AK mags both metal and polymer. US made Lifetime warranty (r922) compliant part.

I know, but know when you get it its going to work great and be very reliable, the factory that makes the 4X,2.5X1-6XACSS takes a long time to deliver but when we get a batch it has a very very low defect rate to none. Its best to wait and get a well made optic then having them rush though and delivering garbage. Here is a video of me testing it at 500 yards using an AK47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGNBuxqk3ng Dimitri |

This seems like it could be a cool product. It's certainly a good idea.

Got them yesterday, but due to work, kids, chores around the house and being on midnights, I wasn't able to due anything with them until just now.
Most of my magazines are Yugo BHO mags, and I'm one of these anal retentive types that prefers to standardize on manual arms when possible. Having 87 different types of mags for my AK's isn't a big deal except that most of them are BHO mags and some are not. I do have some Chinese mags I planned on dremeling off the "nub" to turn them into BHO mags, (did it to one, and it worked, never got around to doing it to the others). I also have some Circle 10 mags, some European mags that I assume are Romanian, and some Tapco mags I was given..... The Weapon Tech BHO Followers have converted Chinese, Romanian, Bulgarian Circle 10, and Tapco mags into BHO mags. I haven't had a chance to test them on the range, but running the bolt by hand and cycling rounds has shown that they work. Since the mags all worked before the BHO followers were installed, and all I did was change followers and not the mags, I do not see how these wont work in firing conditions. Since the Bulgarian Circle 10 Mags have a plastic follower and they're among the most reliable magazines one can buy, I don't have any issue with replacing the metal followers from my Chinese and Romanian magazines with the Weapon Tech Followers. Of course, I now need to buy at least 10 more of these things so that I can "fix" my remaining Chinese, Romanian and Tapco magazines. I will leave a review on the website about them once I get a chance to run them on the range. |

I have a bike with square wheels ill sell you real cheap, PM me if interested With full understanding that this is the case I am still interested in these. The one gripe that most American shooters have about the AK is that your hammer can fall on an empty chamber as there is no BHO. Even though the manual of arms for a reload will still require you to rack the charging handle ( as after you take the mag out, the bolt will go forward ) these followers will provide you with an indicator that your weapon is dry ( something that most AR platform shooters become accustomed to and rely on ). |

Spend your money elsewhere.....like bike tires for example. There is a desire for these, therefore they are selling them to people who want them...like me. Capitalism....how does it work? |

I guess another advantage would be that the hammer is cocked when you change mags so it's easier to charge the bolt. As opposed to dropping the hammer on an empty chamber, reloading, cocking the hammer again.

If all goes well, I will run these in my AK loadout, as there is an obvious benefit ( to me ) of knowing when my weapon is dry.

This is for just in case I'm in such a bad way, that I find myself doing a battlefield pickup to keep my weapon running.

I got nine 7.62 Circle 10 with these. My other ones had the old Falcon Arms Chinese style followers made into BHO. Those were a bit of a pain to make into BHO followers as there are spots on the followers I had to clearance to make them rise to almost touch the feed lips. Weapontech BHO followers were drop ins and they work.
I can't wait for the 5.45 version to come out. While you're at it, Dimitri, why not make .223 BHO followers too? You know, the kind Robinson Arms and East Germans use to convert 5.45 mags to load .223 reliably? I always see guys on AK boards looking for those. I'd be in for a few. |

Yeah my Yugo didn't come with Yugo mags (go figure) so I haven't had the chance to play with BHO. Being relatively new to AKs I've been buying regular steel combloc mags to get started as well as five Magpuls, and ten Tapco slabsides.
Do y'all know if these will need to be shortened or anything for 20 round Hungarian mags? |

I do wish you guys would make a steel version. I understand the reasons for polymer, but I would prefer steel. We did and they did not work as well, the original Yugo mags had an angle were the follower hit, the standard mags don't have it and metal on metal became very unreliable. These are made from a high strength glass filled polymer and metal bolt hold insert. Try dremeling one and see just how tough they are!!We have sold thousands and have not had a single customer service issue or return. We offer a life time unconditional no questions asked warranty. -Dimitri |

Better idea. How about a high viz version? Orange or red followers.

I would use the strongest polymer available. |

Technically, a chunk of steel is getting smacked. It's worth at least consideration and possibly testing if they think it's doable.
All just took 5 followers out in 20 round Hungarians. I'll be getting more. |
