UNW DHM / dye tactical mag: DMAG 20 round mag Spring Followers and lok bolt followers

in case you like to shoot round ball with your Dye tactical mags or Dye half mags (UNW DHM) and like to use the springs of the MCS Dmag 20 (2x10)round mags. then this redesigned follower will guide the soft spring during compression so it doesn’t bend and get damaged.

these springs are really soft so this can help with colder weather or delicate paint. I don’t think that it’s smart to still try to use first strikes with these. but the good thing it’s easy so swab out for stock followers and springs.

there are to models of the followers one in the Dye style and from Planet Eclipse

and since I will get this request anyways… did I also include a copy of the PE follower for Dye springs. but for a complete set with springs and followers is there a official set from PE for Dye tactical mags called: Planet eclipse DTM-20 spring and follower kit

NOTE: releasing a follower in a empty mag is asking for trouble no mater if it is a official part or not.. so I don't recommend that you do so! just use a pen or a stick (from like brush) to just guide the follower slowly up. but I did test it with the Dmag spring you can get away with making this mistake lets put it that way... but you may like to have some spares just in case.

however the stock Dye spring is to powerful... I have only tested it with PLA + but both the 1 piece and 2 piece will shatter to pieces.

notes on the Lok bolt followers

I have made 2 models one for the stock DYE Tactical mag spring for FRS use.
and I have made the DMAG spring version this is a softer spring version that can be used for roundball.

when to use the Lok bolt followers?
in case you use the Dye half mags in a customized marker build were the follower it self can’t act like a lok bolt. then these follower can be option for you.

I have designed these to work for the
MCS Tacamo: Hurricane, BOLT, blizzard, storm 2
but it should work for other markers as well.

this not made to be used in a DYE dam or PE EMF100… since they can work with stock PE followers. and there is no need to over complicate a follower if there is no need for it.

assembly:
there is no need to use glue, you can just slide in the parts. and once installed in the mag then they can’t fall apart

also make sure the sliding part can freely move around since there is just a weak spring pushing it up.

use note:
do not release the spring on a empty mag! if the mag is empty with the spring compressed then just use some thing like a stick or pen. so slowly guide the spring up.

also since markers that work on blow back system will keep on pressing on the lok bolt once the mag is empty is it best to re-cock the marker before the remove the mag.

on markers like blow forward systems, spool valve is this not the case these will just reset after they hit the lok bolt. but you will hear a clear sound difference.
