Other than aesthetics, is there any benefit to the straight 20s over the curved 20s?

View Quote Double check me on this, but by design, dont straight mags require the rounds and follower to tilt? That would prevent you from using some of the anti-tilt followers. In my current 20rd mags, I can push the front and rear of the follower down fairly easily. As opposed to my D&H 30rd curved ones, I cannot push the ends of the follower to make it tilt. |

Straight mags REQUIRE the followers to tilt for reliable function. The ammunition is tapered and the magazine is straight, so something has to give to allow the rounds to stack properly and that something is the follower. I watched a video on YouTube about M1A magazines. The guy reviewing magazines gave a negative review because follower in the 20 round straight magazines tilted. Duh, they have to. |

A lot of people only know the modern AR platform and it shows, from optics mounting to stupid statements like that. |

Other than getting the truth of who made them and the color of the follower why them instead of the 2-dollar cheaper black follower ones from Brownell's?

I can't imagine any one company setting up to make mags for just one retailer and no one else. It does not even make sense without some enormous contract for some entity like the Government. Hell, if I was going to sell something as my brand, I sure would pick the old school method of manufacture or something else to distinguish it just for appearances sake. I might buy a couple to see if they followers are molded different or just different colored. The old replacement twenty round green ones had a V shaped back unlike what the black followers had. |

W/o explicit proof or confirmation, yes, it's guesses/assumptions. |

I bought 10 of the mags you show the picture of. 5 are in service and I put the others up as I didn't need them. I have had "O" issues with the new ones. When I first got into AR-15-M-16 I picked up some used ( I assumed Vietnam) used ones. Two had all the grey finish worn off and were a gold color. They had the aluminum followers and were marked "Colt". The springs on two felt weak when empty, bought some GI replacement springs to install in the weak mags. I used a small screwdriver to remove and install them. Used the same aluminum followers. Only changed the two as the others seemed okay. Still use all of them, no problems in any of my rifles, full or semi. I still prefer to carry the Aluminum 20's while out in the pasture and keep extra ones in th a pouch in glovebox on my Kubota.I understand why they went to 30's, 20's go fast when doing a lot of shooting, fast. They carry well and I guess I'm lucky as all my old and new mags function in all my weapons flawlessly.

View Quote @TGWLDR I'm guessing D&H stopped making these in favor of the curved 20 rounders. |
