The GG&G Enhanced Low Drag Magazine Follower is a direct upgrade for your Remington 870, 1100, or 11-87 12 gauge shotgun's magazine tube. If you've run a factory follower long enough, you know how spring friction and wear can slow down loading and cause reliability hiccups—especially under pressure. This stainless steel follower cuts drag, lets your magazine spring cycle freely, and resists corrosion and wear far better than the original part.
Installation is straightforward: it seats just like the factory follower, so no gunsmithing required—at least for older guns. If you're running a newer shotgun with a cut tab protruding into the magazine tube, you'll need to perform a simple modification to the tube before the follower goes in. Once installed, you'll notice smoother feeding and faster reloads, whether you're running drills at the range, hunting in the field, or working on tactical skill sets.
The red high-visibility insert isn't just for looks; it makes it easy to spot the follower at a glance when you break down the gun, so you won't accidentally lose it or forget to reassemble. Stainless construction means this follower handles salt air, sweat, rain, and years of use without rusting or degrading. A small part, but one that pays dividends in reliable shotgun performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this follower fit my older 870 without modification?
Yes, older Remington 870 shotguns will accept this follower as a straight swap, just like the factory part. If your gun has a newer design with a cut tab protruding into the magazine tube, you'll need to perform a simple modification to the tube before installation.
What's the red insert for?
The red high-visibility insert makes it easy to spot the follower when you disassemble the magazine tube, so you won't misplace it during cleaning or maintenance.
How does a low-drag follower improve feeding?
The enhanced design reduces friction between the follower and the magazine spring, allowing the spring to push rounds up more smoothly and consistently. This translates to faster, more reliable feeding under any conditions.
Will this work on 1100 and 11-87 models?
Yes, this follower is compatible with Remington 870, 1100, and 11-87 12 gauge shotguns and installs using the same method as the factory follower.
