The adaptable AR15 magazine follower is meant for AR15 feeding.
The Mini-14/30 has a totally different magazine geometry because it has to feed cartridges into a breech without use of feed ramps like on the AR15.
As a result, the magazines have a taper to the box as viewed from the top in cross-sectional perspective, whereas the AR15 magazines are parallel.
This causes certain considerations for the Mini-30 that would require a dedicated magazine to be made for it, and you're facing the economic reality of how hard it is to get into new production ventures for a marginal rifle when compared to the AR15 and the demand it generates.
