I spent 20 years in the Marines, and own five AR's now. I have never had a follower problem. I've updated all mine to green, but not because the black ones didn't work.
While I"m at it, I've never felt the need for a forward-assist, either

I have a 30 round Colt mag that will tilt/jam if you even look at it funny. It has the green follower and is also rough as a cob inside. New teflon with brown Magpul's are all perfect.

No, but I have switched all of my mags to the Magpul follower just to be sure that I'm not one of those who have experienced the problem.

Not that I know of. But have had some FTF that "could be attributed to a "tilt" but Im not sure one way or th other. Black and Green followers have been very reliabl, but I also use some Magpuls which work great.

Yes, and more than once. I think most of us who served in the military and did grunt work will say the same thing. The green followers helped, but its not like they are perfect either.
Hitting the ground hard with a partially full mag is one of the more common examples. The harder I ran a gun the greater the chances of it happening. Issue gear took a beating that my current gear usually does not. |

I've had quite a few of the green ones tilt when loading in .458 SOCOM rounds and getting in too big a hurry. The MP anti-tilt took care of that problem. Once loaded though I have never had even the green ones tilt and misfeed, even in the .458 SOCOM.

Yep. With really old mags ... with the old / original followers. Both in 20 and 30 rounders.
 I have since upgraded all my old 30's with the Magpul Gen1 anti-tilt followers. |
