WTF? Bottom right hand of their latest email about stealth grey.
With the launch of Stealth Gray across the board, we will be discontinuing Foliage Green as a color option, to be completely phased out by the end of 2014. Also, based on demand and to maintain consistency across our line of magazine products, all non-black MOE magazine color options will be discontinued by the end of 2014.

Well that sucks.
Just ordered 15 in both colors. Thanks for the heads up. |
|
So I take from this that M2 mags will still be colored?
eta: I see they have renamed the M2 as MOE. |

That's too bad about foliage, it's a really useful color around here.

That sucks. OD Green is awesome. View Quote Were does it say (besides the reference in the poll) that OD Green is going away? I think it's just Foliage Green that is being discontinued from what I have seen from Magpul. Which makes sense since it is their worst selling color (I've seen numbers around 2% of sales; not sure if that's true) and the army is moving away from the camouflage patter that it matched. |
|
Just to be clear I hope Magpul doesn't eliminate OD Green. I like OD, although it would be nice if it were a shade or two lighter, it's a little too dark (close to black) right now.

I emailed Magpul about this in the last 2 weeks when an email circling from a vendor that said there were no more colors.....the following is the reply I received from magpul
Chad, We are not discontinuing and PMAG colors. GEN M3’s will only be available in black, but GEN M2’s will continue to be produced in our usual color line up. Would it be possible for you to forward me the email from the retailer that is distributing the false information? Thanks again and I look forward to hearing back from you.

I certainly wish he was right though. On the other hand I don't expect much success with stealth grey after the initial.buying frenzy. I'd still love to see coyote since it seems to be the upcoming popular color with the MIL going multicam. |
|
ah well, as long as i got one OD for photos i guess. I was always hoping they would mix the colors.. psychedelic swirl camo mags would have been fun for Easter baskets.
|
|
So im not sure who/what to believe. All foliage stuff is going away, and all non black mags are going also (OD,FDE)..but they will continue to make fde,OD stocks grip etc?? |

So there is limited demand for colored mags? I would have never guessed. Oh well, at least Troy Battlemags are being made in different colors. |

You're now making magazines for Steyr AUG's, but won't be making colors.
Are you guys losing your shit? What's next? Discontinue FDE and make FG42 PMAG's? |

Your website seems to be contradicting the information you are providing. Might not be. If MOE mags will only be produced in black at the end of 2014, this probably means M3 mags will get color. I know in the past Magpul has said they have no plans for color M3 mags at this time....but plans change. Overall I think this makes the most sense as MOE is the value line, and M3 mags are their prime product, which would make sense to offer more options in the prime product line IMO. I could be totally wrong about this but I think it makes the most sense. Magpul is probably waiting for stocks of their color MOE mags to sell out before they make the big announcement that M3 will get colors. ETA: I could even see them killing off windowed MOE mags too so as not to compete with their prime M3 line. |

Now I'm super confused. Magpul just said on the opposite page: *ETA: NM. I guess foliage is being discontinued across everything, but magazines specifically will be only made in black? Quoted:

Foliage will no longer be a color option in any product by the end of 2014.
Magazines, regardless of model, will be available in black only by the end of 2014. |

Now I have to decide whether I want to buy up a few sets of FG as a hedge against future AR SBR projects, or scrap the color code entirely.
The real pain is that I genuinely LIKE FG as a color, too. |

No FDE mags after this year? Grrrr.

Lancer makes a damn good mag if you have to have FDE. In fact, I think their transparent mags with FDE baseplates is pretty dang good looking for something so functional.
Question for Magpul. How will this effect third party magazines of color (Larue UDE and Bushmaster Coyote)? |

Are the Coyote Bushmaster mags still even available for sale individually? Last I checked they weren't even listed on the ACR page at the Bushmaster site.

No muss, no fuss and no drama. The spray painted mags were / are used for overseas assignments and they work fine. For my use, its not about matching colors or a fashion show. Its about a reliable magazine that wont fail me when I need it. |
