I've only had one follower that give me problems, and it was a 500 mossy. On the last shell fired the follower would stick, I guess the recoil would wedged it in place, and you had to rap it with something to be able to load the mag tube. And I probably could have fixed it, but for $20 for an aluminum tactical version, I was not messing with it. But that being said my dozen of other shotguns have the original followers, cause they have never offered to fail. Funny thing is I never knew they made replacements for them till I had problems with the mossberg, go figure! But what ever makes you good, if it bothers you change it, there not that expensive.
