Not trying to be a smart A@@ here but no one can make a follower from scratch? I'm sure someone has the real thing here an can get the dimensions as a model then build it. I would imagine you could build a mold then pull a piece of plastic with a simple home made vacuum former? Just a thought

This HAS to be on Saubier,
Mention a problem, or ask a question and a
dozen others will answer and or solve the problem.
Good luck Charlie, hope it works.
You asked on the right place though

I think this is really a problem to be solved by someone with a 3-D Printer, seems to be a made to order printer problem. Larry

Adam,

I called PTG and specifically asked about that RED follower you posted. The CS person called down to the follower department and came back and said "NO that IS a single shot follower". Sure doesn't look like the other single shot 221FB follower they make.

BUT...while perusing the WWW I ended up on Remington's website. No followers, but they do have mag boxes and springs. Then it hit me...the 221 spring is bent differently than the 223 size I have. I ordered one. I have a 223 size follower I cut to 221FB length and it fits, but just tips forward. I'm thinking the correct spring may prevent it from tipping? I'll keep you posted.

Charlie
