Normally, it sits a little closer to the mag shell, when installed correctly, they almost rub or touch the vertical center rib... The fit on yours may be like it is for one of three reasons.. first, the stem on the follower button is about .010" too long? Or. the follower has been squished a bit during manufacture or assembly... Or, the magazine shell is squished some, or a combination of all three??... Now, listen very carefully to this next statement.. The main reason NICE Luger mags are so rare, is because someone tried to remove the follower button, or replace the retaining pin! ....



.... Believe me on this one, if you don't have the tools, or the skill sets....DON'T TRY IT!!!!! That being said, the follower button is pressed into the follower and the rivet /pin end is upset flat or in some cases staked solid... I can repair your mag correctly with the correct original, or new hand made exact replacement parts for a small fee... Let me know if you want this done... Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT....
