Turkish pumps plastic mag tube follower

[groundskeeper willy]

I've got a hatsan and I'd imagine the other Turkish pumps are similar- they have a plastic follower that doesn't look overly tough. Maybe I'm wrong but it bothers me.
Anyone have any success with replacing it with an 870 one or some other metal or high strength plastic one?
Which model/part # and where did you buy it?
Did yours ever break?

Only have one Turkish SG. (mine had an aluminium follower... it was ok). Swapped it out with an S&J 870 type 3 follower. Works perfectly

Remington 870's come with a "light weight" plastic follower. Never had one break, but I know exactly what you mean so I swapped all my Remington's out.

FYI: S&J also offer an over sized safety that works on most Turkish SG's. Installed that on mine as well and much prefer it to the original.
