Will they make functioning more reliable?
I've been getting bolt-over-bullet fails to feed in some of my 20's so I ordered some Wolffe springs.  Now I'm thinking that maybe replacing the aluminum followers would help.  Will the greenies work?

I doubt that the green followers would make any difference. IIRC you can only get 19 rds in a 20 rounder with a green follower.  The green follower was designed for the curved 30rd mag.  With a straight mag, the metal one should work just fine.

The green followers for the 20 rounders don't have the large leg, underside in the middle.

I tried one and now it only holds 19.

So... just replacing the springs with the Wolffe +10% should solve my problem?

That and make sure your feed lips are ok.

the factory followers from any USGI 20 rounder will work flawlessly unless something is broken.  Otherwise, your wasting your money.
