PCFIVEZ Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 so I dismantled my brand new m4 mag tube for the very first time to install my new carriercomp tube...but when my oem follower came out, it was all red aluminum. I have read on various tutorials that the oem follower is black plastic or something. this one that I got looks like the same exact one that came with my carrier comp tube. did benelli change the factory followers down the line sometime? I bought mine from kygunco late last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCFIVEZ Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 did anybody else get a stock m4 follower that looks like that? am I just buggin' or were they supposed to be red wrapped in black plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMLA-167 Warrior Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My M4 and every single one that I saw in the Marine Corps had a black plastic follower with a removable red center plastic indicator. I transferred the red indicator to the black follower that came with the CC mag tube I bought many years ago. IIRC, some of the Euro M4s have a red alum follower though. If you don't want that follower, I will take it off of your hands for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 This has been reported in the past year or so. Marcy at carriercomp was asking me about it a few months back. Looks like it is an inline production change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMLA-167 Warrior Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'll still take it if you don't want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCFIVEZ Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 sorry guys I'm holding on to ask my stock parts including my five round tube. so it's not for sale as I am probably going to use it in my supernova...but thanks for the replies...I'm guessing benelli upgraded their M4 followers.
