Where can I find some used/surplus Colt 20rd & 30rd AR15 magazines? Also where can I found some Colt 20rd followers?

Try the EE, I've picked up several from other members.

Here is a source for alloy followers for 20rd mags.

I got 2 straight twenty rounders in a trade and they both had magpul followers that weren't working so I bought 2 of the John Mason followers to replace them. They didn't fit right and were binding in the mag. I worked on them trying to shape and sand the high spots to get them to work but they never worked out. I ended up just buying a pair of black 20 round followers from Brownells.
