GG&G Inc Benelli M1 M2 M3 M4 Follower Stainless Steel Finish GGG 1509 GGG1509 UPC 813157004094
Product Description
The GG&G, Inc.® Enhanced Magazine Follower for Benelli M1, M2, M3, and M4 12-Gauge Shotguns (SKU: GGG-1509 / UPC: 813157004094) is a purpose-built reliability and safety upgrade engineered for duty, home-defense, and 3-Gun tactical shotguns. Factory plastic followers and soft aluminum aftermarket followers are notorious for binding inside fouled magazine tubes once sand, unburned powder, or carbon grit embeds into their soft outer walls. GG&G eliminates this failure point by machining the outer follower body from solid, polished 304 stainless steel.
Impervious to rust, galling, and particulate embedding, the polished 304 stainless steel body glides effortlessly inside both factory Benelli magazine tubes and aftermarket magazine extensions. Circumferential relief grooves machined around the stainless exterior reduce surface friction and provide channels to sweep debris away from the tube walls, while a deep internal spring pocket stabilizes the magazine spring end-coil to prevent spring kinking and follower canting under rapid cycling.
Pressed into the front face of the follower is a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum insert anodized in high-visibility Bright Rocket Red. Beyond offering instant daylight visual confirmation that the magazine tube is clear, the insert features a deeply recessed, stepped tactile face—allowing a gloved or bare thumb to immediately feel the difference between the follower and the flat brass rim of a chamber-ready 12-gauge shotshell during low-light administrative unloading or combat reloads. Made in Tucson, Arizona, this US-manufactured component also serves as a popular 922(r) compliance upgrade for Benelli M4 / M1014 owners.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Drop-in fit for 12-Gauge Benelli M1 Super 90, M2, M3, and M4 (M1014) shotguns with factory or extended magazine tubes. CRITICAL FITMENT & MAINTENANCE WARNING: Fits 12-Gauge models ONLY (will NOT fit 20-gauge Benelli shotguns). On Benelli M4 shotguns equipped with a split spring retainer snap ring at the muzzle end of the magazine tube, wear eye protection when compressing the heavy magazine spring. Run the magazine tube dry or with a dry PTFE film—avoid heavy wet oils inside the magazine tube that attract grit.
- Ensure the Benelli shotgun is completely clear, magazine tube unloaded, and chamber visually and physically verified empty with the bolt locked to the rear and safety engaged.
- Unscrew the magazine cap (and remove the barrel/forend assembly if required by your specific Benelli model or extension tube).
- While maintaining firm downward thumb pressure on the internal magazine spring retainer (or unscrewing the extension tube end-cap), carefully decompress and capture the magazine spring using safety glasses, then slide out the magazine spring and factory follower.
- Clean the interior walls of the magazine tube with a dry bore brush and patch, then drop the GG&G GGG-1509 follower into the magazine tube with the Bright Rocket Red aluminum insert facing rearward toward the receiver/shell carrier.
- Seat the magazine spring squarely into the deep rear pocket of the GG&G follower, reinstall the spring retainer and magazine cap, and cycle dummy 12-gauge snap caps through the magazine tube to verify smooth, bind-free feeding and shell stop lockup.
