Ok so I decided to give it a try since I have extra mags.
In this thread it is explanied how to take apart the mag - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...ad.php?t=78877
If you just install the Magpul follower without modification (to the base plate/follower or the follower only) it will only hold 5 rounds.
If you modify like below, it will hold 10 rounds exactly. No more. I measured how far the original follower goes down and then after the modding and it's exactly the same. Perfect.
You can mod the base plate and follower as I did, and it will retain the 4-way anti tilt design of the Magpul follower. Doing it this way Once you mod the base plate, you can't go back to stock. Well you can if your crafty with plastic welding or duramix.
Or you can mod the follower as described in the other thread above, but will ruin the design of the follower. This way it can always be put back to stock.
I chose to mod the base plate and follower. The pics should explain the mods. I retained some edge where the spring sits to keep it in place. Rounded all cut edges a little. And filed the bottom legs of the follower at an agle (without doing this it gets caught up on the base plate and won't seat onto it.
Enjoy.
