Crap finish, black follower that tilts too easily and you've got to smack the mag on something to line all the rounds up before inserting the magazine.
These are junk magazines. Though I've read about people swearing by them.

The stock Colt 20rd mags are fine mags. The black followers work fine in 20rd straight mags. If you don't want them, send them to me
I can't say I have ever had bullets shift forward and if I did I wouldn't blame the followers.
I have a 6721 and a 6920. I kept the 6920 completely stock and shoot the 6721. It works fine with 55gr up to 77gr ammo. With the setup I went with I liked the non-M4 barrel and it was sent to ADCO to be reprofiled. It's now lighter than the 6920 barrel and shoot excellent.
