Great thread.
I made a post over on the thread that rob_s started about GI magazines; https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=81074
This last weekend (3/24) I was at a gun shop and found some Okay (33710) magazines with the new follower. I grabbed 2, since they were 11.00 each.
I will post some pics of the follower soonly.
nice review, thanks for sharing ;)
I worked in the polymer industry for a while.Quote:
The Brownells mag had no marks on the follower but the Center had a tiny number “7” molded into the end of a pedestal where the Spring attaches. Don't know what the "7" indicates but I think it is evident that each Follower definitely has a different maker.
usually small items like these followers are made in a mold that has multiple impression areas; depending on the size of the mold you can have 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, xyz, etc followers every time the molding machine complete a cycle.
quality molds have numbered impressions areas so that the operator can quick ID a defective area that needs to be modded/replaced/isolated.
Good info, now if I could only find some at that price
Nice review , GREAT pics and detail thanks
Nicely done, I traded all of mine for MagPul for use down range. If I get a chance to see these newer mags I'll put them through the test..
I will be taking pics and posting them over the weekend.
Stay tuned!
