I decided to mod one of my .556 mags today and well it turned out pretty good. I sanded the top of the follower smooth then used a 2 part plastic resin to build it back up. I used a small plastic container as the mold. A little trimming with the utility knife while it was still pliable and some sanding after is setup and I think it's gunna work just fine. Here are some pics of it.

Neat. The magic question: where did you get the plastic container?
My Daddy was wrong when he said: "When a man turns 60 he ought to be able to trade his testicles in on a new set of teeth." Oatmeal and soup don't sound too bad.
