I have to admit that I got some of the grey followers from Magpul last month and I just ordered the orange ones this time through. Unfortunately new mags are out of the question in PRNY and our sponsers steadfastly refuse to violate New York state law, so I buy what pre-ban mags I can and rebuild as needed. Old mags with worn finishes and grey followers just have no bling to them so I thought I would make a fashion statement by using the orange followers this time around.
I was concerned about the followers when I first saw them. , but the surface contact area is actually pretty small and they slid smoothly even befoe I cleaned out the inside of the magazines. (As a former Q.A. Engineer, I like to test things like this.) And, of course, they don't tilt. So, being form western NY, all I can say is GO ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
