There is a thread above about the dimple on GI magazine followers. My Dad bought a bunch of 8-shot Wilson magazines some 20+ years ago, with no dimple on the follower, and gave me two. When I tried them in my Colt Series 80, I got the type of problem discussed in the thread about the follower dimple. After I fired the next-to-last shot, I would find the pistol locked back and the last round sitting backwards on top of the follower, every time. I gave those two magazines away.
Recently, my father gave me most of his gun-related gear. In it were two more of those pretty, but ill-fated magazines.
What do I do to make these magazines usable? From the thread on follower dimples, I am guessing a stronger magazine spring or a follower with a dimple.
