The Strike Industries 12 Gauge Titan Aluminum Magazine Follower transforms standard shotgun magazine performance with precision-machined construction and enhanced feeding reliability. This upgrade component addresses common feeding issues found in factory followers while maintaining consistent shell positioning throughout the magazine cycle.
What Makes This Different
CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Titan follower weighs 40% less than steel alternatives while providing superior corrosion resistance. The optimized geometry reduces friction against magazine tube walls and maintains proper shell alignment under rapid cycling conditions. Factory polymer followers often bind or deform under heavy use, while this aluminum construction maintains dimensional stability across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F.
Key Features
- CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for lightweight durability
- Anti-bind geometry reduces feeding malfunctions by 85% over factory followers
- Type III hard anodized finish resists wear and corrosion
- Compatible with most 12-gauge tube-fed shotguns including Remington 870/1100/11-87 series
- Precision-ground contact surfaces ensure smooth magazine spring operation
- Maintains shell alignment during rapid fire and tactical reloads
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or modifications
Competitive shooters and tactical operators report significantly improved feeding consistency, particularly during high-volume shooting sessions where heat buildup typically causes factory followers to expand and bind. The aluminum construction dissipates heat faster than polymer alternatives while the hard anodized surface maintains smooth operation through thousands of cycling operations. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this upgrade for duty shotguns where reliability cannot be compromised.
