<big>Technical Bulletin 2: Nose-Diving AR-10
Followers</big>
Beginning in May 1999, ArmaLite received a number of
complaints of
poor AR-10 magazine function. This problem has been traced to shallow
magazine catch
plunger holes in some followers. 
The shallow holes produce excessive compression of the
plunger
spring. In extreme cases the plunger cannot fully enter the hole.
The
excessive spring energy forces the plunger strongly to the rear, where it
presses against
the rear of the magazine box. This forces the follower forward, and it
can jam
against the front of the magazine box.
To determine if the bolt catch plunger hole is too
shallow, press a
� inch diameter rod or drill bit into the hole. The straight sides of the
hole must
be 1.5 inches deep, plus or minus .05 inch.
The owner can correct the problem by drilling the hole to
the proper
depth, or by cutting two coils off of the plunger spring. ArmaLite will
inspect and
correct all followers returned to the factory. The complete magazine
should not be
sent.
The problem can also occur if dirt enters the magazine,
or if the
follower has burrs that catch in the magazine box.
