So I'm trying to find a base plate and follower to add to my magazines, but I'm having some trouble. I can find US made followers for 7.62x39, but they seem to all be plastic. I want to find something like the steel Falcon Arms followers and baseplates, but they are out of stock at falconarms.com, so I'm lost. I tried to google it, but I didn't find anything.
Does anyone know where I can get an affordable steel mag follower or two? What about base plates? |

www.apexgunparts.com sells US baseplates for $5.00. You may want to give one of the Tapco plastic followers a try. The 74 mags use plastic followers and they all seem to work, but these also use plastic mag bodies.
These might work well with the Bulgy plastic 47 mags? |

Very cool, thank you! I ordered 2 for my magazines. I've been wanting to add a CAA UPG47 grip* to my ak, but it's made in Israel, and I don't know how to change out a piston, so I needed that one US part to make up for it. Now I'm cool ---> http://www.commandarms.com/thumb.asp?myheight=350&mywidth=350&image=img/productImages/UPG47/upg47color.jpg

Don't waste your money on the Tapco followers, they turn a perfectly good AK into a door stop. I've got a handdfull I would give you but I would not want to make you my enemy. Trust me, they suck.

I have a real noob question. How do you use a rivet? I mean, if it's really that simple, I can do this myself, but I don't what I'm supposed to do with a rivet.

Impact Global Arms has them listed on their web site.
Whether they're in stock I don't know. They may not be too affordable at $20.00/set, plus shipping. www.impactglobalarms.com/Sales/

FA makes great USA followers and floor plates. They are much cheaper if you buy direct from FA, but they have been our of stock direct from FA for over 1 year. They are currently taking pre-orders for floor plates http://www.falconarms.com/xcart/home.php?cat=1 Apex has USA floor plates too. They used to have followers, but seem to be out. I have no idea how well the APEX stuff works/fits. https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/162?osCsid=a071041c34b8b621f093b0406c0f84bb |
