MB, I just wanted to mention that the L3i Stinger magazine has a round shaving problem in my Vudoo. It happens intermittently, and is present no matter how I adjust the height of the magazine. The way I discovered it was that I was getting random fliers I wasn’t getting with the poly mags. If you can design yours with this in mind as well, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yessir, I'm aware. When they, admittedly, copied my mag, there were some features left out that controls the departure angle on the way to the chamber. Also, many are under the impression there's a feed ramp in the front top of the magazine. There isn't, as the bullet would/will touch such a feature when it shouldn't touch anything enroute to the chamber.

@RAVAGE88 great idea placing the mag blocker as far rear as possible.
I considered this but didn’t know if pressure on the DBM would have any influence on accuracy.

One other thing to consider, and likely this is accomplished by the 3 different lengths of mag blockers you’ll offer.
Lots folks are using 3d printed mag extensions which are wider all around and will interfere with mag blocker unless given enough space. I thought there was something mentioned a few posts back that your blocker will interface via ARCA. Assuming that’s the case, the 1.5” will allow for clearance of the aforementioned.

Good stuff. Love the concept!

Any thoughts about having an adjustable follower?

Adjustable in what way?

Its a constant battle to fool proof a design (both in production + field use/operation) vs maintain flexibility in the same.

Personally, I'm a fan of less moving parts, but I also do like the geometry to be fundamentally correct.

For gits and shiggles…

Another trinket I get asked about often.. If you know, you know… if you don’t you will once you interface with it.
Understand not everyone shoots this way, but those who do have liked it.

It can make use of the slot in the trigger guard assuming the slot comes rear enough for adjustment. In hindsight, I should’ve keyed the stud to the slot.

Weird I know…

I’ll post overlays of numerous followers atop my original follower from 2010 that show the exact same departure angle. The aftermarket samples are marketed as “enhanced.”

All this follower hoopla started when someone at VGW pressed a follower to a belt sander by hand because someone said Eley didn’t feed and then declared it worked better.

All nonsense.

Chicken dinner for the first to tell me how many followers are in this overlay; the basis of which is my original follower from 2010.

There's one that isn't in the overlay because the departure angle isn't the same and it's the one that I get reports on of shaving lead "when adjusted properly." I'm not in any way substantiating those claims, as I've not experienced it for myself, but the point is, the reports I hear of what has worked best are in the overlay above.

So why have there been feed/cycle issues? I covered this in a prior post about an extreme departure from foundational information. The belt-sander-scandal in St. George was a kneejerk reaction to a claim that wasn't properly vetted, and it's part of what blossomed into at least four rabbit holes leading to things that don't need to be adjustable.
