3D Printed AEG Magazine Followers

[pestobanana]

So, for years now I've been annoyed at how terrible stock AEG followers are. They're made to be single stack sized in order to feed the last BB out of a mag, but most AEG magazines are double stacked. At first I made my own followers using plastic and a file, then I moved to commercially made followers but I was not entirely satisfied with them. I decided to get together a friend and make them instead.

Undersized stock followers in best case scenarios will only cause excessive friction. Worst case the BB will jam beside the follower and end up underneath it, then the only remedy is to completely disassemble the mag. I had this problem with every PTS PMag I owned, as well as first generation EPMs. Undersized followers will also deform the last BB in the mag.

Same mag, follower replaced:


These followers are made to be a drop in fit for most AEG mags. The most you will have to do is cut off the circle loop at the top of your spring if your mag is of that design such as KA.

We haven't gotten packaging together yet, but if you don't care about packaging send me a PM.

I'm open to the idea, but no plans as of right now. I sold my PTW a while ago and I never opened the mags to see what the design was like.

They pop right out without magazine disassembly. Maybe I should send you one to look at.

My concern is that larger followers in some mags do not feed the last few BB's as they do not fit at the top where the BBs are made to zipper. A design could be made to work with PTWs, but I wouldn't know until I open a mag how it would interfere with the stop on empty.

Love these, which reminds me I need to order more from you. Keep forgetting

Should work fine with PTWs, they just won't feed probably the last 2-3 BBs. But really, who the hell cares, it has a bolt stop for crying out loud.

Pretty colors....!

Will different colour options be available in the future?

I like the idea of having coloured followers so I can easily identify if a mag is empty similar to the hex mags. Another potential use is colour coding different BB weights.
