Jill Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Honest question from a complete M4 newbie here. Is there some value experienced owners have found from changing out the follower on the M4 from the factory one? Just wondering if there is some actual advantage, or if this is just another way to trick one's self into spending more money. Maybe I should just leave it as is? Perhaps the fact that I can't think of a reason to change it just answers my own question, ha. Appreciate any experiences.

Sukhoi_fan Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 When switching your original five round mag tube to a full length mag tube the follower is the least expensive item to get to the appropriate imported vs. domestic parts count under the 922(r) nonsense. There is no other reason to swap out the original follower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliwerkes Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Some appreciate a bright colored magazine follower to visually announce an empty magazine, especially since the bolt can be locked back with shells loaded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solved with nail polish, i.e. if no need for 922(r) compliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the one that came with my CC tube because it was a deeper shade of red. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
