Trigger Man

Here is my experience and thus my opinion as to why they changed the follower. I was getting hang ups every once in a while. Gun would eject spent hull but not load the next round. This was after years of flawless operation. The problem was a ring of carbon had built up on the plastic follower. You could catch it with your fingernail. Scraped what would flake off, cleaned with solvent and was back to cycling properly. Broke down my buddy's SBEll and saw that his follower was aluminum with barely any carbon on it and what was there wiped off by hand. A definite upgrade for sure.
