Very easy to load, function great, Lock open on the last round,doesn't need a follower and are made of spring steel! They hold 12 rounds "I only load 10" I put 50 rounds through one with only one problem. The 1st round can move back out of the magazine enough to hit the bolt catch when putting it into the mag well, causing it to stand up. this is the only time this can happen. Just follow the instructions on the inside of the box " They are printed on the inside of the box, LOL" when loading. The fix to the problem is simple or just learn to live with it. NO MORE SORE THUMBS!!!!!

They held 12rds each, but I will probably only use them with 10rds. Only one needed to have the lips tweeked. They all fed very well when thumbed and then cycled by hand; but I haven't pulled the trigger yet, so I'll have to report back after firing. The mags were free and the BM kits were $16 a piece, so not much to lose. These followers are slick, so I have very high hopes

How did you get the center rib out of the Pmag bodies? I assume you had to remove the rib the entire length of the body.
You mention "drill and tap" - is that for starter holes so the screws dont bust the follower? Or did you just screw the nylon screws into the follower?
