New followers: Any comments?

I just saw this on another forum. It's new but if anybody tried 'em, how are they? I may try to get a few to test.

Haven't tried them; some of my 30s have green followers and some have the original black ones. No problems with either, so no need to fix the non-existent problem.

magpul makes some great items IMO.. their M93A stock is on my wishlist if the ban dies...

but... I dont see how this would help feeding anymore...

prolly would but why spend 3$ or more on one of their followers when you can buy green ones in bulk for ~50 to 60 cents a peice...

Magpul is out of red test followers already. I got mine yesterday.
Here's a link to comments and test results:

It looks like it has side tabs to take up side 2 side play and has an indent by the front to make removal easier. I have noticed that the floor plate tabs make removal a lil difficult since the tabs are right over the front entrace of the mag. If anyone understands what I just said then many congrats to you!

Epi - I understand only because I checked its design features during installation. It slides straight in; no wierd angles or twisting to insert. Once in, it doesn't tilt at all even if pushed down on the ends. I'm hoping I can try them out this weekend (waiting for gas rings from Bushy). I put 2 of them in my worst looking/performing mags.

Coyote brown ones are slightly undersized. I tested the red ones this past weekend and had 100% success with my known bad mags.
