KatoomDownUnder Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've seen but lost a link to an article, from Italy I think, that goes through the process of modifying the mag follower to allow a 10 round capacity instead of 9 rounds. Has anyone seen this or possibly know the procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Lads give the guy a break gravity acts the opposite way down under. The rounds are forced out the mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 :lol: Puny Crunts Because those of us who wash more than once a week need to be hobbled in other ways we end up with rifles sometimes supplied with a different follower. Our SR98s are able to fit 11 but since I'm only a part timer these days it's a bit hard to get hold of "surplus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Got a pic of the follower and spring buddy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 So last night I filed part of the follower off to see if it'd be enough to increase the volume......that failed and will probable lead to rounds diving and mis-feeding. I can fix that with a bit of Knead-It epoxy. The short video at the bottom shows how tight it is to fit 10 rounds in even after the slight mod. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr315/KatoomDownUnder/Precision%20Shooting%20Stuff/th_IMG_0972_zpszcjbvyx7.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 The measurements are taken from the thin point of the follower. The one at the front does NOT include the lump that hangs down normally. This section is actually thinner at the back, than the front , to allow an angle on the round, upwards. If you take it down to this dimension, it looks to me to be identical to our followers. I can only think , that for export to your country [and its laws ? ] you may have a shorter magazine box ? Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 That is exactly how the follower looked before I modified it. Easy to fix with some epoxy. I'll get the actual box measurements this arvo for a comparison. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Ok so the external end measurements are: Front depth = 60.6mm Back depth = 70.3mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Your mag box is shorter than ours. That explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ahh well same old story it's not the size of it but what you do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Well there's certainly a big size difference between what we get supplied with the gat and what is milspec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
