I've ordered from them a lot with no problems.
I ordered 4 Pmags from them a few days ago and they've shipped. |

Quoted: I've ordered from them a lot with no problems. I ordered 4 Pmags from them a few days ago and they've shipped. Ditto. Can't believe someone started a thread because some hi-cap pistol mags are backordered |
|
My buddy just txt'd me: Did you hear that MAGPUL stopped making 30 round mags?
|
|
I bet Magpul and others have been ordered by the government to stop making hi cap mags.
|

Magazine production is continuing as normal with shipments being sent out every day.

|
They'll be making magazines thru at LEAST December 62nd, or later, just in case a ban comes into effect on Jan 1, 2013!
|
|
I'd think that if the Gov't COULD order Magpul to cease production on their say-so, we've got bigger problems than we think.

OK, not to hijack, too badly, but what the heck happened to the Botch link? I went to it last night and all was fine. They showed black left so I ordered 6. Yes, only six. Now, its a spam site? Did they crash? My bank has a "pending" payment, I admit, Im a bit nervous at the moment. |

|
I admit, I was a bit naive. Never really dealt with Botach or many of the online stores. I am the guy that has what he has needed (not, the same as wants) and just bought stuff local, in the ones and two if there something. Im in AZ so there are a lot of good local sources. I dont have much knowledge of online shopping.
Been doing some more talking, and learning, that several places and or companies are crashing or experiencing overload. That, I am afraid I understand. Ill wait till next week and see what happens. |

maybe dumb question but Brownells website says you are "focusing ... efforts on producing BLACK PMAGs"
Which Generation? Don't wanna backorder Gen2's if yall are focusing on the Gen3's |

We are fully supporting MOE and GEN M3 production at maximum possible capacity. We aren't doing colors right now since we can run faster if we don't have to change out materials, and it simplifies handling and packaging to speed things up. We will be shipping the GEN M3 20 rd mags by the end of the week, and GEN M3 windows are starting to run at production rates.

I only hope I can find one of the vendors who gets them before the scalpers clean them out. Slight derail. Will the Gen 3 20 rounders also be able to use the new low profile baseplates? |

Thank god - for the last couple of months I have had so many friends by ar15's locally I am almost out of pmags myself I think I have 2 maybe 3 left. They have all promised to buy me more when they become available but I couldn't leave them all in the cold alone with some crappy steel mags. |

Maybe if Magpul has some old Gen1 molds sitting in a closet they could dust those off, too.

Yup. That's what you read. MidwayUSA already has it up on their website. And guess what? 10rd mags too. $13.25 is what the backorder price was showing earlier for 10 and 20 round mags. $14.20 for 30 rounder, and $12.30 for the MOE mags. ETA: Their Date expected in stock: 01/22/2013 and backorder is ok on all. |

Depending on the size, I have 8 machines that be put on order. Well 7 because one machine hardly gets changed out form making clip boards for a company a few miles up the road from us. |

My guess would be a minimum of 660 a day, with (1) one cavity mold running an average 60 second part cycle. That's if running an 11 hour day like we do when running day and night crews. Multiply as needed. I wish I could work there but I have only an associates degree in machining. |

But with the funding they recently got, there's no clue what they have running. We have molds that make anywhere from 1 part to 32 parts each cycle. ETA: The multiply as needed would be for the number of molds and then the number of parts each mold makes per cycle. |

K .. im in.. so how many do you make a day.. just a ballpark?

Walked into my lgs today and they had a few unopened boxes that they haven't even touched yet.

Quoted: My buddy just txt'd me: Did you hear that MAGPUL stopped making 30 round mags? Think about this for two seconds. Magpul will sell every single mag that they make right now. They will be shipped to a vendor the same day as produced, and sold from that vendor within a day... Further, we may face a ban that will kill many of their sales at some unknown point in the future. As a result, it's in magpul's financial interests to produce the maximum number of magazines that they possibly can, until either a ban happens or the panic slows. Magpul's costs to run their facilities are probably pretty fixed, regardless of the number of products they produce, and the incremental cost on a p-mag isn't all that much in terms of materials. Any company wants to maximize the amount of products that is produced to make as much money as possible on their initial costs of setting up the line, R&D, etc., especially if you can sell them at full, un-discounted prices. So why in the BLUE FUCK would they stop selling product? Do they hate money?

And even if they were to stop making 30 rounders, Ill still be buying 20 and 10 rounders

Hey, Ryan, be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets.
