Dear Sergeant B.J.,
Indeed it does. Much of the new magazine’s greater
reliability is the result of the redesigned follower. The self-
leveling/anti-tilt follower minimizes jamming, while a wider
spring coil distributes force evenly. The new follower also
has an extended rear leg and modiFed bullet protrusion for
improved round stacking.
The Army expects the new magazine to reduce magazine-
related Fring problems by 50 percent.
The new magazine can be identiFed by its tan follower.
It can be ordered with NSN 1005-01-561-7200. Magazines
with a green follower can continue to be used. If you spot
any magazines with black followers, turn them in. They are
old and unreliable.
Dear Half-Mast,
I saw in PS 713 (Apr 12) that there is a new, improved magazine for the
M16 rifle and M4/M4A1 carbine. Does this new magazine have a better
anti-tilt follower?
