owners can load them up and store them for years without hampering reliability.
Well I don’t know if that claim can be proven. Mag springs get weak from *use* cycles. Just storing them loaded doesn’t do squat so the followers are just BS in that argument. Just more things to go wrong IMO.
Anti-tilt anti-schmilt. I’ve never had an AR mag follower be the cause of a jam. (what color are we up to now that is the latest/greatest??) Bent feed lips, or bad spring yes. Follower? No…but there are people with more experience than me that I hope will chime in.
I’ve got early 70s mags that still feed just fine so this might be a solution looking for a problem.

Interesting idea, but skeptical on how long it will last or if it is needed. Wondering if ball bearings were every considered.
