Hey FNC owners, I have a dozen 80's FN made FNC 30rd Mags and like the FNC, the Mags are "tanks" and just go on and go on, just like my 1982 (bought in 1983) FNC Battle Rifle (17.7 inch barrel, not the carbine).
Well the followers are getting "tired", as you know FNC's are very hard on Mag followers, so I am asking if anyone has found steel M16/AR15 follower replacements that aren't an Arm and a Leg Brandon Era price? I'd like M16/AR15 followers, so I can also use them in any of my collection of M16's, M4's and AR-15's and will activate the Bolt Catch. (FNC's don't have a M/AR type Bolt Catch, so FNC mags don't have that "lip" at the back of the follower).
Alternatively, has any of you FNC owners found a M/AR Polymer(or similar material) Follower that you've used that will hold up to extended use in the FNC and fits the FN made Mags?
I do a LOT of Long Range Match shooting with my FNC, so the Followers HAVE TO BE Reliable and Long Term Robust.
Appreciate your feedback!
I'd upload a couple photo's of my FN Baby, but just noticed this Forum doesn't host pic uploads. Doesn't everone else (forums) do that by now???
