M-16 Mags
FYI I just saw a thing on AFN about new M-16 mags. They are supossed to improve feeding. They have tan followers, the green followers will still be used but black ones are to be turned in. Just in case you run accross a tan follower at a show or something you know.

Those were issued to me while overseas. They seemed to work better, but I can't say if it was the follower or just the fact that they were brand new, in the plastic, so the feed lips hadn't had time to get bent out of shape. Even still, I bought a few P-Mags in Kuwait and stuck with them most of the time.

I only know because I have friends in Brownells.

I only know because I have friends in Brownells.I've seen a few of them, they are anti-tilt. I'd like to compare one next to a Magpul follower.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.
