Question from new member

Hi guys,

I can't use the search function right now for some reason, and I have a question about mags. Is there a good source from which to purchase the single shot followers that come in the BM factory mags, and is replacing the existing AR mag follower all that's necessary to have it function for the .450?

Thanks, and I'm glad I found this forum!

I'm pretty sure Bushmaster has them available and I saw one
in a Brownells catalog, but I don't know if it would feed like we
Want it to feed the 450 B.
I'm going to have to let the experienced folks on here answer
That question....

They are available from Bushmaster, but hard to find on their website. It is in the Clearance section under products and is the Single-Shot Magazine Follower, Part No. SS-FOL at $13.95 each.

I bought two and installed them in two spare 30 round 5.56 mags. They roll into the mag on top of the existing follower. I haven't shot them yet, but they load hard (almost cut myself on the flanges on the top of the mag). I will get a loading device, which I think I saw on the Bushmaster website. There is a very simple one shown on http://www.bushmaster.com/products.asp?cat=9, part number UMT for $6.50, but I thought I saw a lever type similar to the LULA also. Can't find it right now. Also, when I went to manually unload the mag, the fourth and subsequent rounds had tilted in the mag. If you have a mag with an anti tilt follower, that may help, or they may not tilt when they are actually being fired.

I will report back after my first range session.

I'm fond of just using the sig 556 mags without modification. You can buy a pair of them at academy sports for about the same price as two single shot followers.
