What company makes USGI style 30rd mags with lime green followers? I recently traded for 4 of them and there are no markings or numbers to identify the manufacturer. Also are these any good I have only used the tan/ and darker green (OKAY industries) mags. Any help is appreciated.

Could be anybody, you answered your own question with the "style" comment, they aren't G.I.

G.I. have a Cage Code stamped on them.

I didn't know if one manufacturer used a lime green follower exclusively.

Only green I know of is Mako.

They seemed to have made their pictures worse and the web site less user friendly than before.
Somewhere on there you can buy them in 4 packs.

I have a bunch of the white as I like the color in my mags for low light.  They work well

The followers on my mags are a lighter and brighter green then that but thanks for the input.

Could you show the follower from the side and or bottom?

I wonder if you just have some new G.I. style with a lighter color. Some new D&H still come with the G.I. green.

A picture will go along way.

This is the only green USGI follower*
(Phote is from member "Eric")

If there are NO markings at all on the body and floorplate it's either a mixmaster mag (80's body, 90's follower, recent Center Industries blank floorplate) or some useless off-brand. Even sparsely marked Center mags have their CAGE code 6P199 and the date stamped in the side.

A picture or two would easily solve the mystery

*Yes, there are a few emerald green mags from the late 60's

I think Promag and National magazine put out some mags with shiny green follower.

This is probably a stupid question but Pro-Mag makes metal body mags? I thought they only made shitty polymer mags.

Yep. They were making shit out if steel long before they started making shit out of plastic.

I have at least ten "GI" mags, various brands, that were originally purchased with the black followers that I replaced with the green ones.   I think the green followers were the original "anti tilt" follower and available on all USGI mags at some point.  Not just one brand or other.
