I put some magpul enhanced followers, gen 2, in my mags and now they only hold 27rds???  Is that typical?  I think Im going to just put the green followers back in.

not for me.

you could try cutting down the "legs" of the follower a bit?

I would check to make sure that the spring is being compressed corectly.  Don't start cutting things until you have checked all moving parts.

Not sure what brand, but the followers look like they are longer than the green ones.  I was thinking about cutting the followers down.

  Like he said, I would check your spring and then your magazine body for dents or something that is preventing the follower from compressing all the way down. I just installed 10 grey Gen II followers yesterday in some early 90's milspec mags from Adventureline, Okay, Parsons,Cooper, and LaBelle and they all hold 30 rounds with no problem, and load like a breeze using my Maglula.
