    What are the chances that those milling cuts in the follower rib are there to make the follower just a little less heavy? In my time as a tool/die maker, I have seen a lot of parts that were machined or drilled to remove metal (weight) in such a way as to remove weight while not making the part weak. An ounce here, an ounce there -- Regards, Johnny Lawson

    Yeah, I figured that was a "must do" right off. Found out others have already clicked him too. He can write what he wants but few will see it.

    Heard that from a couple of CMP'ers too. Was going to drop all this but figured a 'Thank You' for some moral support was in order. Thanks.

    Johnny,
    the more I look at it, the more the machining on the left side of the center rib doesn't have anything to do with the magazine follower depressor. It slips into the magazine above the follower.

    Those machine cuts don't seem to be used for it. The center rib is what staggers the rounds, and that's it.

    Actually there is a lip on the left side of the magazine follower depressor that fit into the groove cut on left side of the follower.

    milboltnut, I did not say anything about the magazine follower depressor at all. I said that I thought that the milled out areas on the follower's left side could simply be there in order to make the follower weigh less. The same thing is done to some butt stocks, a hole is drilled in the butt in order to remove weight from the stock. The butt plate covers the hole. That hole is not meant to be used to store a cleaning kit. Regards, Johnny Lawson

    milboltnut--

    I will get a pic of the follower and magazine depressor together, but please give me several days.

    Thanks

    Late to the support end but fully agreed. Real attitude.
