Competition Follower Design
The patent-pending MBX Competition Follower was developed specifically for factory-style 2011 magazines. Combined with MBX's proven competition spring, it helps maximize capacity while presenting each cartridge at the proper angle for consistent feeding throughout the entire magazine.
Important Break-In Instructions
Before using your magazine in a firearm, load the magazine to full capacity 4-6 times.
This allows the spring to reach its working length and ensures the competition follower sits correctly below the feed lips. Failure to properly break in the spring can allow slide contact with the follower, potentially damaging the spring and follower.
Recommended Ammunition Specifications
- Overall Length (OAL): 1.155" - 1.165"
- Crimp: .372" - .374"
- Round nose projectiles recommended
- Avoid excessively short OAL and heavy crimps
- Ensure primers are fully seated
Maintenance
Magazine springs are wear items. MBX recommends replacing competition magazine springs approximately every 6-8 months for shooters who regularly compete. High-volume shooters may require more frequent replacement.
Notes
- Magazine tuning may be required depending on the manufacturer and condition of the magazine tube.
- Factory tubes with damaged or out-of-spec feed lips may require adjustment.
- The MBX follower is manufactured using a specialized 3D-printed material developed specifically for competition magazine performance.
Disclaimer: Magazine tube quality varies by manufacturer. MBX Competition Spring & Follower Kits are designed to provide reliable performance in properly manufactured and tuned magazine tubes using quality ammunition.
