If you’ve got some old-school AR-15 mags you may have noticed that sometimes the rounds don’t feed right. There’s a reason for that. Those old-school AR followers often fail to slide down evenly, so the rounds tend to tilt down. When this happens, they won’t feed correctly. This of course can cause a number of problems.

Self-Leveling AR Followers
AR-15 magazines have changed a lot over the years. AR follower design improvement is one of the best changes. Now, shooters can upgrade their AR mags by installing self-leveling or anti-tilt followers. These followers are made so that the entire follower slides down, instead of just the one side. If you want to keep your rifle running with a higher level of reliability, consider switching out your older follower for a self-leveling follower.
If you have old mags that tilt, Gunmag Warehouse offers a 3-pack of MagPul Enhanced Self-Leveling Followers for standard USGI magazines that will solve your problem. They are made from a non-hygroscopic, self-lubricating polymer and are available in green or yellow, depending on your preference. As Shaw mentioned in the video, the yellow offers higher visibility than the green.
