I have been swapping out Magpul followers for the original black followers in a large supply of 70s, 80s, etc. GI mags.

Some work fine.

Some have weak springs.

What springs are you guys us sing for replacements?

Thanks.

I don't know, but I bought some 'mil-spec' springs from Brownells last year and they wouldn't even fit on a Magpul follower.

You will find that getting new magazines is almost cheaper than the springs.

Thanks.

I have been happily buying 21$ Troy battle mag three packs, sub 10$ P mags, 7$ PSA sales of nice USGI type metal,
And it had not occurred to me we had reached the point it is cheaper to buy a new mag than put a new spring in an old one.
