Yes, that looks like they are making dedicated mags now.

Wonder if they're cheaper than the current 5-rounders

HEHE.. they are really getting us on the cost of the older mags IMHO -

I sorta popped a woody seeing the new follower.. My problems it that I dont think it will fit the 20 rd Pmags..

Here's the Deal.. The blue follower was just something to use until the dedicated follower could be made and with the craziness in the industry it took a long while before the time could be dedicated to building the new follower. This new follower is my orginal design and works like a champ, but then so does the blue follower. The great pictures are what you'd have if you do as I have suggested in other posts. Take a .500" ball-nose cutter and run it down the center of the follower and you'll have the same thing. If you don't like the skeleton-ized look, then flip the follower over and fill the void of the GI follower with JB Weld, wait 24 hrs and then run the cutter down the center of the follower, some guys do this cutter job with their Moto-Tool, it's pretty easy really and there are plenty of GI followers around. All has been described in other post and I'm thinking we may need some kind of index so the new guys won't have to wade through so much data, then again, if you guys do, do the wading, then tons of other stuff are going to ring bells for you as well. In the mean time keep asking and wondering, we may have to continually go over old data, but then that's why we're here, Right?!..

I have followed your suggestion and have a GI follower sitting on my desk with the JB all set up now. I just haven't had the time to take it to my buddies place so he can mill it down. Hopefully I'll get to it some time this week.

I'll post pics up once I do get to it so everyone who comes here looking for the info will at least have some pictures to look at to see what they need to do.

That is the intent of the Knowledge Base. I am sorry it has not gone along like I first intended, but the version I have installed is broken and I'm waiting for another version to be finished. I keep thinking it will just be another couple weeks till it's done.

When that happens I will ask for people to submit submissions for what they want in there.
