My son-in-law sent me some AR magazines and a few have a follower I've never seen before. Only thing stamped on them are 6P199 over 03/10 and nothing else. Anyone know how these followers do over time?

Pull them out and see if they are "anti-tilt."
If they're not, and these are going to be anything other than "only use at the range", then why not upgrade to MagPul anti-tilt followers?
They're $7.48 (free shipping) for a three pack on Amazon.com (Amazon Prime Membership price).

looks like an early no-tilt.
newer ones have something in the middle, maybe to hold the spring in place.

Yup I would concur with the Magpul follower advice. They work like a charm and cost next to nothing so why wouldn't you?

I like the way the spacer looks more like a real cartridge.

I just got a few mags on a trade that have the same followers. No name on them. They seem to be anti-tilt. My test for anti-tilt...push the follower on either end with one finger. If it moves down smoothly and without cocking..it may be good. Then try the other end. The follower should move down without any tipping..
If it does that...to me it is all good.

In all honesty, if you have so few magazines that these couple of used magazines with unknown followers/springs are something you actually waste more than 5 seconds of thought on, then you clearly don't "have enough" magazines to begin with and you should focus more on buying brand new magazines right the hell now before another school shooting.
P-MAGs are $8.50 each right now. Aluminum mags are even cheaper. Brand new. In sealed wrappers. Stock up on those and when the prices sky-rocket again (THANKS OBAMA!) then worry about the internals of your used ones.
Priorities, sir. You are distracted.
