M1a/FG42-2 308 Magazine Follower

We have machined from solid steel magazine followers for the M1a magazines that we currently use for our FG42-2 in 308 winchester.  These have had the last round hold open feature made into them in a way that the FG42 won't destroy.  This is the downfall of the stamped sheet metal original follower that doesn't last but about two strikes of the bolt and it's done.  No longer, these will allow the firearm to lock to the rear open after firing the last shot!

The last 4 photos show you what must be done to your magazine bodies to allow them to work with the FG42-2 in 308.
