Bad follower Model 70

I'm having a problem with the last round plopping out when the second to last round is attempted to load. This follower does have some grind marks on it, like somebody tried to correct the problem..
Anybody have a easy DYI for this situation?

If it's a machined, solid steel follower, remove the follower and grind or file its ridge to a 45 degree angle from the low flat up and too the left. That usually helps.

If it's a stamped follower, replace it.

It worked so well, and was so easy to fix, Staff may consider making this thread a Sticky...
