I just picked two up as part of the bundle they sell. I noticed the front portion of the follower does not possess an anti-tilt feature like on Magpul followers for USGI magazines. This means it does not have a piece of plastic that extends down to prevent follower tilt. Is there a reason for this?

I am sure the magazines work well based on the reviews, but was curious about the follower design. I loaded one of them up with M118LR rounds and there were no issues. It definitely possesses greater capacity for longer, heavier bullets than Magpuls or Lancers.

Thanks

What bundle do you speak of??

I’ve never had an issue with any of mine and they are regarded as the best M110 pattern mags on the market. KAC being a very close second.

Indeed.

But his AR10 magazine is the absolute best I've used. OP, I've never had a mag related issue with the LaRue mag and yes, they do allow you to load longer. They are worth the price of admission.

Yes the 2 mag bundle. Yes I knew what I was getting.

I am curious as to why they are not using a follower design like Magpul’s:

They probably didn't want to infringe on the intellectual design of Magpul. They do have a shorter front and rear leg which will prevent some level of tilting and it also allows the follower to drop lower in the mag body than a magic follower will go, reducing the required length for the mag of the same capacity.

Until they switched to the dealer model, they offered E-Lander mags as a budget alternative to their in house mag. They blew them out on sale last summer for something like $7-10 a mag. E-Lander was also their go to for 6.8 and .224 valk mags.
