if they fit and they work, damn the details, i say!
the green followers help prevent the rounds from binding up in the mag. basically the other followers will tilt and bind... the green ones are better at not doing so (maybe a little over simplified, but you get the idea)

Save your pennies and ditch that crappy 'no tilt' green follower and pick up a magpul third generation anti-tilt follower.Frostyeyes said:
They're much more pricey but it's impossible to get the follower stuck like you can with the green followers.
Try using the eraser end of a pencil and pushing straight down on different parts of a green follower in a typical ar15 magazine.
You can get the follower stuck at least 3 different ways.
I might be just nitpicking, but a good magazine is one of the greatest ways to assure reliable functioning.
Did the floorplate look like this?
Floor plates are replaced before anything else on an AR15 magazine since you have to pry up the floor plate to remove it in order to clean an AR15 magazine.

I dunno brother, I have never had a problem with the USGI green followers in my years shooting the AR. I do have some of the C-Products mags with the new Magpul followers, but I find them to be a remedy in search of a problem! When loading a mag, I have never managed to get the green follower sideways and bind. It's only happened to me when I've been fidgeting with them and pushing the follower down with my fingers.Krackels said:
The Magpul follower works, but I think the USGI Green does the same job for less. Like their other products, the Magpul follower just has the benefit of looking cooler and making us feel more robo-futuristic
