Insert magazine. Retract charging handle. Release charging handle. Retract charging handle slighty to ensure round has chambered via visual inspection (can confirm tactilely if circumstances dictate) Ensure bolt has seated fully and is in battery.
I really dont know what you are pushing at here. if you trust your method, have at it. i dont go running around with empty weapons so failure to charge the initial round is not high on my list of concerns. At the very least i can be reasonably certain that 1 round will fire.
if i come upon a situation where i need to reload i will simply have to put my faith in the weapon to work properly upon recharging the chamber. if you drop the mag and visually check everytime you reload that must be an interesting sight to see in the middle of a gun battle.
YMMV

I don't recall where the conversation was prefaced as "in an administrative environment", nor do I recall there being any actual "argument" towards the validity of the method I employ in my circumstances. I obviously don't have to consider the circumstances you apparently find yourself in. The only "argument" I was making is that just because a round is stripped from the magazine, does not necessarily indicate that the weapon is charged.
Have a nice night.

I think the same dealer is selling a 10-pack of those on GB (the photo of the bagged magazines is the same, at least). I haven't personally seen any issues with the tan followers - I have one from Brownells and have seen a bunch in the Army - but I try to avoid them simply for the sake of uniformity in my GI mags. The issue of the top round being on the opposite side is a secondary concern for me, but the spring is also different to accomodate the new follower, so it's not interchangeable with the MagPul follower or the older green GI follower. I just prefer to have common parts - i.e. springs and followers - in my GI magazines for maintenance purposes. I guess I might be forced to accept the brown follower at some point, if all new GI magazines are being made with it, but there are still a ton of surplus magazines out there, and these DPMS / NHMTG mags still use the old spring design with the bonus of the MagPul follower.

You mag fags should grab a few of the ETS group see through mags. They too have the opposite side follower, but they're such a different mag anyway, it doesn't bother me. I have no relation to the company. I just think they're a must have in your mag diversity program.
