Froggie.

My understanding was the Metal Followers on Mags were unique to the original Model 39 not the 39-2. Also I understood the original 39 mags with metal followers can be problematic as well as expensive - even more expensive than the correct 39-2 mags with plastic followers which are going at $40+ if you can find them.
