Upgrade your tactical shotgun with the Aridus Industries SMRT Aridus Follower – the ultimate replacement magazine tube follower designed for superior reliability, especially in 12 gauge shotguns equipped with magazine extensions.
Key Features of the SMRT Aridus Follower

- Anti-Tilt Design: Optimized length balances stability inside the tube without reducing shell capacity, preventing tilting that can cause malfunctions.
- Bright Green Textured Insert: Anodized aluminum center with aggressive texturing offers instant visual (bright green) and tactile feedback – you'll never mistake it for a live round when clearing your shotgun.
- Durable Construction: Machined from tough 4140 steel with a slick black nitride finish to resist denting, galling, and wear while promoting smooth loading and unloading.
- Easy Installation: Drop-in replacement – no gunsmithing required.
Why Choose the Aridus SMRT Follower for Your Shotgun?
Factory plastic or stamped followers often fail under heavy use, especially with +2 or longer extensions, leading to frustrating hang-ups and reduced reliability. The SMRT Follower solves these problems with innovative geometry inspired by the proven Beretta 1301 design but refined for broader compatibility.
Shooters praise it for enhancing safety during training classes, range sessions, or home defense checks – the prominent green textured face leaves no doubt the tube is empty. Reviews from sources like The Truth About Guns and The Firearm Blog highlight its excellence in reliability for extended magazine setups.
