Its my understanding these are all pretty much the same manufacturer. Ive got a pile of all three and its a mix match of black and orange followers.
I havent heard of them wearing out, but they are plastic. Would be good to have some spares or at least know the source to get them. Been googling and cant find anything. |

You will wear out springs long before you wear out a follower. I would buy spare springs first, and not worry about getting in followers.

Thats good to know. Only part of the follower Im concerned with is the notch on the back that actuates last round bolt hold. Seems that would wear down before anything else broke. |

Wouldn't the manufacturer be the one to contact for replacement parts ?? I just did a quick google search and it got me the company phone numbers. Suggest you do the same thing....actually call the manufacturers and actually ask them directly. |

Duramag and C Products are basically the same company at one time or another... ASC is not! ASC told me to go pound sand and just buy another mag rather then sell me new springs or followers. So I went and bought some C Products/Duramag magazines and tossed the ASC pieces of crap! |
