Like the title said, I am looking for some bolt hold open followers that I can use in 20 and 30 rd pmags. Yes I know the bolt slams closed when they are removed but I am going to use them in 556r. Thanks for any info.

I found these: https://zastavaarmsusa.com/product/zpap85-556x45mm-magazine-polymer-10-pack/

Not sure if they’re any good, no relation to them just found via DuckDuckGo.  

You could always use the “Iraqi method” which is holding the bolt to the rear with the right hand while doing the mag swap with the left and then release upon new mag seating.

Appreciate the reply. I am waiting to hear (hopefully) from some one who has actually swapped them out. I know about these
https://www.weapontech.com/advanced-bho-follower/ but I read they will not work in magpul mags, I just sent them an email too.
Also these(from the same site you mentioned)
https://zastavaarmsusa.com/product/zastava-ak-magazine-follower-bho/ I sent them an email. Zastava replied very fast. They will not work in a pmag.
