Mag Followers

[Dan Robinson]

Having just repaired two of my mags that had their followers snapped in two. 

And seeing as I had to wait for spares to get back in stock, and stock issues seems to be the norm.... 

Is it worth trying to glue the guffed ones back together? And what glue works best? I did try araldite, but it was no use. 

Tah in advance!

What gun/mag might help

Sorry... 

WE Glock 17.

Lol, then no. New followers or 3D printed followers. They always break in half

 

[Dan Robinson]

Well at least I know.... One less thing to hoard. 

Are you telling me that not only will I be spending hundreds on developing a pew pew collection... Hundreds more fueling and arming them.... Then hundreds more on fancy dress outfits to make me look like an overweight mean and nasty soldier.... 

But I'll then have to buy a sodding 3D printer to repair the fuckers because we can't reliably obtain parts?

Look on the bright side, it's a good excuse to buy one, as I'm sure you've fancied buying one for ages.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Oh piss off LOL.... 

Well.... Yes... To be fair there have been a few ideas in my head that would benefit from one. The main problem is the strength and temperature resilience of the end product.

I'm rather lucky in that I have a brother in law with a resin printer!

But yes. Airsoft is a big old hole to chuck money into if you let it be.

Yeah - those are the ones I got along with some base plates.

Decent replacements - got some valves from them too.

Not a bad company to deal with.  Very quick to respond to queries, although the replies are often "we just don't know when stock will arrive".

At least it's an honest answer.

Just don't try and ask for GHK feedlips outside of working hours...

Think that little incident is lost on most non GBBR users on here.
