    If you have 30 rd mags with the black followers that have feeding troubles then try the greens.If they work(99% do) then ignore the greens.20s don't need them and they don't fit without work.cpermd

    Worth of the mags or the followers. Followers about 1.00 to 1.25, mags depending on condition go from about 10 dollars to 30 dollars depending on maker and condition, some will go higher if they are a rare variety.
    freedom isn't free

    I can't say which is best but I have Adventure Line and OKay mags with black followers and have never had a problem in both my ARs.The 'Kay (?)' than you mentioned, might they be OKay brand?

    I just bought a bunch of Sanchez from an aution on gunbroker, they have the Green Follower."ARE THEY GOOD MAGAZINES" I changed the black follower out to green ones on all of my used Magazines. You can buy the green followers in a 10 pack from Brownells....OTOThanks to IDSMan telling me how to change out the followers....[This message has been edited by Otoman (edited 04-07-2002).]

    I have about a dozen green followers sitting around collecting dust. Nobody I talk to wants them (and I'm offering them for free) so how much of a difference can they make?

    I got plenty of black and only 2 green. Guess I will go 2 green and 1 black when they go. Sounds like auction time.

    Let me ask this. Is it worth it to disassemble an AR mag just to put a different follower in it? Unless I'm missing something here, I think AR mags are the worst design for taking apart. I don't want to have to bend the tabs that secure the floor plate anymore than necessary. Which to me, is not at all. Just my $.02

    They are a pain in the * to take apart; I won't disagree with that.

    One thing that I have noticed of the green followers vs the black ones is that the greeens seem to have a "teflon" feel to them. They seem quite slippery. I would think that would help with the friction against the mag wall too....
