Assembling AR15 mag with green follower?
A while back I bought a couple of mag rebuild kits for 30 round AR15 mags. The kits included the green followers. I got the magazines disasembled & the old springs/followers out . Now, for the life of me, I can't get the green followers in!
I've turned & slanted & cussed & it just ain't coming together. Do I have to bend the tabs that hold the baseplate on to get these danged things put back together? Help, help, help! bobs1066... |

AH HAA! Thank you, blades67. The follower just slid in slicker than snot on a doorknob. I would be embarassed to tell you how wrought up I got trying to fight it.
We only had 20 round mags when I was in the service about a million years ago & I'd never dinked with a 30 rounder before...... |
