Hummm, let me think a second.....
[one second later] Agree. Change the follower. The follower that comes in the English mags is made with bubble-gum (very soft plastic). Replace with "made in the USA" real plastic. |

Yeah the English followers are a bit flimsy. I was at a shoot and watched a fellow ARF Commer rapid fire a few rounds and the follower snapped in half on him. They also tend to tilt more than than the USGI black followers. Sometimes the mag bodies are slightly out of spec.
Having said all that, I haven't had a problem with my English mags except for a couple mags that don't drop free. I will buy more. |

Thanks for the input, it seems that new followers are on the list of ever growing things to buy. I'll have to consider new springs when I open one up. They were a great buy so I had to get some to try. Here in Mass. I have seen the same mags for $35 these were $20 so what the heck.

expect GI mags to drop to $10-12 after the ban lifts.

You are optimistic, I would not be surprised if the ban goes either way.Besides here in Mass. you never know what might happen next. Our gun laws are amazingly ridiculous.

I sure hope the ban goes down. Man, it would be so neat to walk into a gun shop and see rifles with actual telescoping stocks, flash hiders, bayonet lugs, and pistol grips again. And those evil 30 rd US GI surplus mags by the box full priced at $10 will look sweet too. But I am not going to count on this happening until it's a done deal. I bet all the folks who have been storing pre-ban mags since 1994 waiting to unload them someday at 200% profit are hoping the ban doesn't sunset! Hehe
