    30 round mags for the FBI

    https://marketplace.fedbid.com/fbweb...qQbJAAyVXBA0Or

    Looking at the above solicitation, it mentions "green followers". Is this the old-school 1980's variety or is there some new-style follower that is green?

    green followers replaced the older version which could tilt and cause a jam when firing in full auto. the green followers are anti-tilt. basically the FBI is just ordering some new milspec mags.

    They're actually ordering "older" mags. The "new" GI mags have a tan anti tilt follower that closely resembles the MagPul type but with the follower "bump" reversed.

    Bid Spec?

    Bid specifies Aluminum construction, so no PMAGS for the FBI? And the E-Landers are out as well........

    Too bad as the FBI could peruse the line at most gun shows and pick up 2400 mags pretty easily from the horders.

    This is a standard production mag for Brownells. The recent Brownells mag bodies are sloppy however.

    I have noticed all the current brownells mags have green followers and do seem a little sloppy.

    I had some older ones with the tan followers and the springs were wider than a standard USGI mag (wider length wise of the follower). They were very good to me and ran great with brass.
