The Strela F1 is a metal follower for the tube magazine of 12-gauge pump-action shotguns. It replaces the factory plastic follower, and its center hole lets the shooter confirm an empty magazine by touch.
The follower is made of AISI 304 stainless steel and installs in the tube magazine in place of the factory part. The hole in the center of the follower face feels distinctly different from a shell base: when checking the magazine with a finger, the shooter immediately knows whether they are touching a shell or the follower. This simplifies checking for rounds in the magazine when shooting with gloves or in low-visibility conditions.

- Center hole for tactile empty-magazine check
- Easy verification with gloves and in darkness
- AISI 304 stainless steel — corrosion and wear resistance
