I thought that the followers in the 62267 mags I have were black (62665A marked in white), but when I held a flashlight on them this evening they all look green.

Is this typical?

I didn't think I was THAT color blind...

Yes,,that's they way they came.Emerald green so dark,it's easy to think they're black.
BTW,,the 1st 2 I got,,,from you, a few years ago,,are emerald green as well.......
ETA,,like an eye Doctor once told me,,if you're over 40,it's understandable,,if under 40,there's no excuse His words,,not mine.

Yup, dark green. Have one I brought home from Viet Nam that's been absolutely bullet proof, and of course my favorite mag. 100% reliable, had no qualms using it in the "rattle-battle" match at Perry several times now.

I didn't realize that I had a few of those as well......they were in my combat load in Somalia in '94!! Carried them up until I retired in 2010..still using them!
