Bolt Hold-Open on Empty .308 Mag


Recommended Posts

If the Russian follower is allowed to rise-up to the feed-lips, will the bolt hold open(even partially) to indicate your mag is "empty"? It appears that shortening the follower's two side guide rails/stops about 1/8" would allow the follower hump to touch the feed lips. Will the .308 3-lug bolt stop/hang-up on the leading "sloped" follower hump? Anyone tried a bolt hold-open .308 mag modification that will/will not function?

I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine that the 10-rounders would get eaten up by the bolt pretty quick, since they're only plastic, as opposed to the metal of the surefire mags. I'm just holding out for Cobra's LRBHO.

 

Hope that helps,

Acer
