Which is correct? The left hand side or the right hand side? I thought the left was correct and that is what I have always done. For some reason today I don't feel so sure.

I live for my CMC Power Mags. The one on the left is correct. The curly-Q goes under the follower towards the front. ETA: When installed correctly the curve should ride in front of the divet on the bottom of the follower.

I wedged open the tab on the follower a little bit to make sure the spring tip can't get by and cause a feeding problem on all 32 of them.
