Brownells Shotgun Follower For Mossberg 500, 20 Gauge, Aluminum, Black

A shotgun follower is a critical component that lives inside your magazine tube, sitting between the rounds and the spring to ensure smooth, reliable feeding every time you load. The Brownells Shotgun Follower for Mossberg 500 in 20-gauge is engineered specifically for the Mossberg 500 platform and machined from aluminum for durability and lightweight performance. Whether you're running clay targets, hunting waterfowl, or heading to the range, a quality follower keeps your shotgun running as intended—and it's one of those parts that rarely gets attention until it needs replacing.

This 20-gauge follower is finished in black and built to Brownells' exacting standards. It's a straightforward, essential replacement or spare for Mossberg 500 owners who want to keep their magazines in top working order or need a replacement after wear or damage. Shotgun followers wear over time and can become warped or cracked, especially if your gun sees regular use. Having a spare on hand means minimal downtime.

If you're rebuilding a magazine tube, replacing worn internals, or just want a backup, this follower gives you a reliable, OEM-compatible solution without the guesswork. It's the kind of small-parts maintenance that serious Mossberg shooters don't overlook.

Yes. This follower is engineered specifically for the Mossberg 500 platform in 20-gauge and is a direct, OEM-compatible replacement.

What's the difference between a follower and a spring?

The follower sits inside the magazine tube on top of the spring and beneath the rounds. As rounds are loaded, the follower rides on the spring, guiding ammunition to the lifter for proper feeding. The spring itself provides the upward pressure.
