Hi folks,
I've got some Springfield XDM magazines whose plastic followers have gotten scuffed and scarred from rounds going through them. They tend to be perpendicular to the way of travel and so are causing misfeeds.
Any thoughts on applying a thin coat of epoxy to smooth out the gouges and toughen the top of the followers? I've never used the stuff before and am not sure how well it can be buffed smooth, if it would handle the potential heat generated by rounds being fired or if it would degrade he plastic beneath.
I wish there were aftermarket aluminum followers to be had.
Thanks in advance!
