Hey all,

I have an old UI 20 round magazine that I've had since Jesus was a Private.  Well I was cleaning it, dropped the follower and then stepped on it and broke it.  So I need a replacement.  I found this: http://www.johnmasen.com/AR15-20-Round-Spring-Aluminum-Magazine-Follower-p/1510-a.htm

I assume this isn't as good as the original, but does anyone know if these are at least decent followers?  If not, anyone have any recommendations on where to find a decent follower for this magazine?

M1sniper is a gentleman and a scholar.  Thank you so very much.  I've had this one magazine for nearly 30 years and it just seems right to return it to it's former glory.

m1Sniper is THE MAN!!!

Thank you so much for getting this old magazine back in business.  I converted it for use on an AR-180 about 30 years ago, and it has been used on two more 180's since, which is why the mag catch slot is so wide, my most recent 180 wouldn't lock in, so the slot had to be brought up to work.  Anyhow, it's an awesome magazine that I've had for such a long time.
