These were brand new in packaging. The black one I shot was the first time it was ever used.That's a good point.
In a straight-tube 20rd USGI, the follower HAS TO TILT upward in order to present the rounds at the correct angle to feed.
If someone has "upgraded" the correct 20rd followers to an "anti-tilt" follower, the last few rds. would take on a "nose down" angle.
The mag feed lips could be bent....another thing to check.
The 20rd USGI mag, the original M16 mag, is considered by many to be the Gold Standard mag for these rifles.
