Magpul PTS P-Mag 120- Missing Part Replacement?

[hot_shot under fire]

Hey everybody,

I'm not sure if this should be posted here, but here goes nothing...

I’ve been looking around for a while and have exhausted all of my own resources attempting to find a replacement part for my Magpul PTS P-Mag 120. The part I am looking for is the follower. A picture of the part found inside one of my other P-Mag 120’s is below.



I’m just wondering if anybody can help me source one of these parts so I can pick one up. Failing that, if anybody happens to have a part like the one pictured above floating around I would be more than happy to pay for both the part and postage for it to be shipped to me.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jake

It's called a follower.

ohhhhh damn thats like one of the most important parts of the mag lol

in alot of cases you can make one out of an oblong bead, or even another BB, its pretty simple to make

Have you tried contacting Magpul?! I am sure they have a few laying around.

I vote for contacting Magpul PTS; I ordered some maintenance kits from them for their 120 Round PTS magazines, $14 shipped for complete maintenance kits for three mags and two extra followers. The replacement springs are the most expensive part of the kit, so I wouldn't suggest ordering unless you really need them.

Comms were decent, price was decent, shipping time was decent.

Okay everybody, thanks for the help!

I loaded the mag without the BB follower with 120 rounds. The mag fed well and the only BB's that didn't feed were the typical 4 BB's that are at the end of the mag between the mag itself and the hop-up, and 2 BB's that were still inside of the mag. I'm not 100% sure if it is healthy to use a mag without a follower, so I'll defiantly look into contacting Magpul PTS.

Would it be possible to buy a cheap 120 round mag and take the follower from that mag? Perhaps one of those really cheap DYTAC Invader magazines on eHobbyAsia?

You need a follower of some sort, especially with the way the spring setup is for the PTS mags; I really, really like the reliability of the 120 round PTS mags and would never do anything to compromise that potential. There aren't that many mags out there that are user-cleanable and user-reparable. If you just needed a follower ASAP then consider something else, but considering the prices that I paid for my parts replacement and that I have a stock of parts now, I wouldn't go that route, I'd just go to PTS and order from them.

BTW, if you do comm them, also ask them to make a C-series Magpul lower. I want a china doll lower that's giving everyone the finger.

got some scrap plastic, a file and some super glue? you can make one. I used some wire snips and cannibalized a broken mag and made myself a new BB retainer when I lost one out of a g36 pmag. Took me about half an hour tops.
