Silverback SRS Magazine Follower Swap Guide
This official Silverback video demonstrates how to swap the follower in an SRS magazine, from opening the magazine through refitting the spring and closing the assembly. Use this guide when you need a concise visual reference for identifying the original follower, comparing it with the red replacement follower, and following the sequence shown in the footage.

01Source-based overview
What this procedure does
The sequence begins with the operator using the required 2 mm Allen screwdriver to open the SRS magazine. The magazine shell and top section are then separated so the long follower spring and original follower can be drawn out. The important visual progression is the move from the opened magazine, to the exposed spring and follower, and then to the empty magazine track ready for the replacement parts.
The red follower replaces the original follower. The operator feeds the spring and follower back into the magazine track before closing the magazine. The official description establishes that the video concerns an SRS magazine and that a 2 mm Allen screwdriver is necessary; the footage establishes the order in which the shell, spring, original follower and red follower are handled.
