Beside, I am afraid I can not provide more than one test sample per person since I don't have enough to go around. Sorry. Jing |

Okay, sent an e-mail from my SBCGLOBAL.NET account, just so you know it is me. Included my username here and shipping address in the e-mail. I am not affiliated with any other magazine manufacturer, and am still able to test 300blk, 5.56, and 5.45x39.
I actually sent you two e-mails, because even though I answered all the questions in the first one, I forgot to put the mailing address in, so you have two from me. HAPPY NEW YEAR, and I'm looking forward to giving you an honest opinion on the magazine. |

This is to confirm that I have got all tester's information. So it seems that no runner up for any empty spot. The mag will come back to me from the coater by the end of this week, so the earliest shipment will start Monday next week, hope it will get to your hand before the Shotshow.
Thanks, Jing |

Sounds good. Do you want results as soon as we start any testing, i.e. fitment in all different types of lowers, number of rounds we are able to load of each caliber, or do you want us to just keep tallying our results until we have put several hundred rounds of each caliber through the mags and then send you a complete write up?

View Quote Good question, and my answer is to address all testers. I want to run a public test as free as possible, that mean, I don't want to have any control of whatever the results that may come out of your test. Once the mag is shipped, consider the mag is yours and you can do whatever you want with it. All I want, and I think this is also all those who didn't get the mag testing opportunity want, is that how you test it and the test result. I am more or less to let you guys to compete to come out a test plan and execute it. You are free to discuss what to do with it, so that the test will cover the most concern YOU may have for a mag that may satisfy YOUR needs. Overall, I want to have a product that will make my customer happy, and I hope I can get it through you to testify if I achieve that, or fall short; success or fail, by how much. To answer your question specifically. I do wish you would get the results up ASAP, and I think all the readers of this forum do. However, I set a time frame of TWO month, which I think should be enough to do any test you may want at leisure. If there is any finding you may have, even out of that two month frame, by all means, post it. I am always welcome results come from customer, good or bad. Thanks! Jing |

I am not a fan of torture test. All product has its designed limit, and range of usage. Deviating from there is asking for trouble. However, since the time you know who started this, as a manufacturer, I can't talk myself out of those test anymore, because sooner or later, there will be someone will do it on my Unimag. So instead of waiting you guys to surprise me, I might as well bite the bullet and follow the suite.
Today it is the first time I have tried this, on any product I have, and it looks pretty encouraging! [youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MJghculNKXI [/youtube] |

Would be entertaining to watch you feed various rounds through a .458" out of a single magazine - the smaller rounds would probably drop through the bbl. |

Sorry you weren't happy with the result. I think it would be fine to send them out and give us time to test them while you are waiting on a second batch for cosmetic reasons. But it's your product, so you do what you want.

Yeah since this is basically a Beta Test the appearance doesn't matter just the function. I think you should send them out.

I agree that beta testing doesn't usually have to be pretty.
But I understand that it's important to him, or else he wouldn't want to serialize the first batch and then end up having them look like doodoo. But if they work flawlessly and look cosmetically appealing, then he'll have perfected his formula. Which will keep some people from complaining later down the road, saying things like, "boy I hope you didn't get the 1st gen mag, the QC standards were terrible back then" I've waited this long. No rush now.

No, it is not a cosmotical thing. The thermal effect made one side, which was not stamped properly, retracted and distort the magazine, which makes it not suitable for feeding one caliber and the mag is not drop free.

Thanks Guys! I will keep moving forward. I think I found the route cause of the distortion, implementation on the way. The magazine is still functional, with the help of a new and an old design of the spring.
Today I did some sand test of it. First time ever, and it is a stone surprise! http://youtu.be/ynwon1dR3Xo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynwon1dR3Xo [youtube] http://youtu.be/C5E0lXh9xVs [/youtube] |
