IIRC they come in a box. Sig Sauer brand polymer mags that were designed for the Sig Sauer 556/552 rifle.

Academy has them for 29 bucks a pair. They are in a box that is white and blue, hanging on a rack in the same area they have other mags, choke tubes , slings and such. I just now ran 40 rounds through one of mine 5 rounds at a time and I never had a single hiccup...

DON'T BUY THEM FROM THIS LINK!!! They are asking way too much for them... but it has a pic of the box they come in.

You want the "Sig 556" (which is the Sig AR15 rifle name) magazines..

here is a link to the ones on top gun supply

...and you sure it's the follower and not one of the two poorly spot-welded pressure tabs located on either side beneath the lips, mentioned on page 1 of this thread? Not that it matters. Broke is broke. Bushmaster warranties them as part of the rifle warranty. Replacement time may be an issue as they are in the process of moving everything from Maine to New York.

yeah its not those, it is the follower. if you look at it form the top it looks like the part that keeps the follower from tilting forward.
