Are there mags that have a stop on the follower that allows the bolt to lock in the open position after last round is ejected?  If so, which mags?  Can just a follower be a replacement without replacing the whole mag?

NOTICE:  you might know that I found the answer as soon as I made this post.  So, have any of you modified your own followers?  Also, who makes mags with the stop feature?

Hello- the Korean aftermarket mags- KCI I believe- have the follower to hold the bolt open. These are better sacrificial shooter magazines overall, and they have worked well for me.

Well thank goodness....I just ordered three KCI mags from J & G sales.  Just took a chance that they had the stop followers.

If you want 30 rounders, these have a bolt stop follower. Currently out of stock but you can get on the email notification.
