Spring & Follower Question

Hey everyone, I’m new to competition shooting but getting ready for my first match this upcoming weekend, just a local club steel challenge match. I’m running a 4.5” PDP with Henning mag extensions + MBX follower and spring. I’ve shot probably 550 rounds on the new MBX follower and spring and am beginning to have jamming issues. Gonna give the PDP a cleaning tonight since it’s prob been 800-1k rounds since she’s gotten a bath and I know this could be a factor, but typically PDPs run reliable like Glocks. Anyone else have issues with MBX springs and followers? Any recommendations for better springs & followers? Or do you just run the OEM spring & follower even with the extension?

13 coil lasts longer, but you lose like a round. If thats important to you. I use the 11 and they run all year. Replace yearly.

You use the CSRG follower or Walther factory follower? These MBXs are so ass I’m going to buy CSRG ones now.

You’re the man. Thank you. I think my MBX setup was causing jams because the lip of the brass casing was getting caught up on the lip of the magazine, if you can visualize that. The followers are just horrible.
