[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Magpul Follower 2nd Generation vs 3rd Generation

Posted: 9/16/2008 10:42:22 AM EDT

From their website the Orange and Grey followers are Second Generation, the Red and Tan are Third Generation. Can some tell me what the difference is between the second and third generation?

Magpul's starting to sound like Microsoft, with their annual updates to their operating system.

Just kidding.

Actually the third gen followers are foliage green and yellow per Magpul's site.

On Magpul's follower page just click on the color options selection box.

Magpul's tooling started to wear out so they made some "nice to have" changes to Gen 3. Nothing that greatly improved reliability, but nice little touches. See below:

I put the yellow ones in some of my black teflon D&H mags. They look and run sweet.
