I only use 20rd mags in my rifles.
I know the 20rd ones were the first to be used, but didn't know they didn't consider 30 and 40 round ones when they invented the platform. Maybe it has something to do with discouraging full-auto fire.
A relative who was in 'nam mentioned they typically put 17 or 18 rounds in a 20rd mag.
I bought a few Master Molder 20rd ones for cheap a while back. They definitely don't have an anti-tilt follower. I only put 5 rounds in at a time so far. No problems.
