Guest Larry Cazes Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Now that the NEW format follower has been available for a while, what do you guys think of them? I am looking to refurbish some .38 super mags and have been considering the grams follower/spring kits and maybe some new basepads as well. Any feedback on these so far?

uscbigdawg Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Here's your dumb question for the day. Are they a direct drop in for the "old ones"? All of my mags are tuned by Beven, so I imagine so. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 They are as drop in as it gets, but you need the "new" springs also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Suber Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I love mine and they dropped right into the mags that Beven tuned with the old-style followers. They work like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkbrd Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Bevan's new spring/follower format has set the new standard. They are worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 They work in both STI & SV tubes flawlessly. 126, 140, 170 - doesn't matter. They even improve function in the 10 rd ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Larry Cazes Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Thanks guys...Just wanted to make sure most were still happy after a few months before I made a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Hobdell Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I concur the new Grams Followers are "Mustard" to quote the English Venacular. Well worth the Expense. I have them in all may mags now. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Can someone give a nutshell explanation of the improvement over the previous versions? Rhino, Call Beven and he can explain it. The list is waaay too long. But in a nutshell, the stock followers are a complete compromise. GE doesn't compromise - they make thing the way the mfg should have.

sfinney Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Got my new Grams followers and Springs in the mail Saturday, dropped them in my mags - all of my 140mm SV tubes now hold 19 easy, a couple will hold 20 TIGHT with Dawson bases. I have 1 Grams 4mm base, so I put it on - and it gives me 20 with slop, easy loading. Shot a match today cold, and they ran 100% for about 200 rds. I'm impressed.

MarkS_A18138 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I love the new springs and followers. My wife has had problems forever with her mags, they just always seemed to fail at the big matches. I replaced her springs and followers with the new Grams about 6 months ago and she has had NO problems at all. We are through 2 major matchs this year with a perfect record. I was told the problem that I had been having was mixing Gram springs with STI followers. That will never happen agian! Has anyone heard if Grams will sale just the spring for that new follower? I would like to replace the springs before Area 4 and the followers are in awesome shape. Mark S. If it has a score card it's a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yes, you can buy just the springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos Custom Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 The new springs will not fit the old follower. They are specifically designed for the new follower and will only work with that follower. Make sure you either get the old springs or replace both the follower and spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
