What do anti-tilt followers do?
I understand they make rounds feed more reliably and now a standard but what was the issue? I can't find a proper answer. Did the follower rock side by side as it feeds up or something? I'm trying to understand how they jammed
they rocked forward and backwards, altering feed angle and made repacking mags frustrating also.
Ok I get it, it thought they were getting stuck on the sides not the front and back
Thanks
the issue arises because the large-capacity AR-15 magazines have both a straight section and a curved section, and the follower can be easily designed to work well in one section or the other, but it's much trickier to get one that works acceptably well in both. The original 20-rd magazines have only the straight section, with a simple follower designed for that, and even the ancient 20-rd magazines from the 60's and 70's are still more reliable with their original followers than more modern 30-rd magazines with fancy-dancy anti-tilt followers.
Incidentally two of the reasons Pmags got popular fast were the improved follower and having a constant internal curve
God I love magpul

>large-capacity AR-15 magazines have both a straight section and a curved section
Is that to facilitate loading them from stripper clips?
I assume it's because the magwell is straight
>large-capacity
>the standard mag size
Get a time machine and take it up with Stoner then. The original AR-15 and M-16 magazines were 20 rounders.
No, stripper clips don't stick down inside the magazine.
The magwell is straight because the early magazines were straight, so a curved magwell wasn't necessary.
>the ancient 20-rd magazines from the 60's and 70's are still more reliable
Lol. I'll bet every round of 5.56 I've ever shot to the contrary. If this were true, 30 round straight mags would be a thing. See
nobody has mentioned straight 30-rd mags in this thread except you anon.
literally in the name
imagine if picrel didnt have the legs (circled in red) sticking down. so it's just flat on the bottom. under stress/shock/heavy recoil, the follower can tip over, causing a malfunction.
You're putting in way too much work to help the retards of PrepHole, anon
They give prodooct manufacturers a reason to get you to shell out more money consooming more plastic crap.
Anon, the entire industry is all about the plastic crap.
