Didn't see that one coming. Hope you've got some quad-stack lovin' up the other sleeve
I wasn't in the market for an AR drum, but the idea of one that's reasonably priced that actually works is kinda cool. I'll get one for national 'piss off a liberal' day. |
|
Looks like the size is comparable to the x-15, with ten more rounds and a LRBHO. What's the unloaded/loaded weight?
This may be the first mag I buy bigger than a 40 rounder (for an AR, I've got a drum for 7.62 AK and a few 45s for 5.45). |
|
Looks great. I've never had anything over 30 for the AR but I may just have to get one of these because why not?
Sure would complement the M27 quite well. |
|
|
I gotta get me one of these. Hope the street prices are easier on the wallet.

i may get one someday, but I think I'd rather have two 30/40 rounders that can actually fit in some kind of practical pouch. I do like the functionality features...seems like a good design. I like drum mags too...just not sure it makes any economic sense for me though. If it was less $pendy, or held more than a couple of $8 mags it would be a lot more palatable. All that said, I've never complained about a gun having to many mag options in the market. The more the merrier, says I!

Not what I saw coming in any way......but that ain't going to stop me from buying 4 or 5!!!!
Rolling with one of these in the gun, and some 40's, 30's, and 20's in the rig ought to set me right for the day of doom! |
|
I saw the tweet earlier today and knew I had to find the video when I got home. Nice.
|
|
So, we're supposed to carry these in the tactical MOLLE bra, right?
That's why they're the "D" 60? |

I'm in for one as well.
I appreciate that Magpul is making stuff that folks weren't expecting. It's nice to have some product announcements that aren't just run of the mill stuff. |
|
Will this drum fit the beretta arx100 or does it have the magwell stop like the gen3 pmag, if it doesnt have the stop is the tower long enough to use in the arx100 or any other 556 weapon with a non m4 demension magwell?

In for one i better start saving my penny's with all the stuff coming out this year.
|
|
I´ll take three of those, and three of the .308´s, too, please.

They were banned from use in the Finnish Kp31 9mm SMG in the Winter War and Continuation War during World War 2, because they nose-dived and left soldiers with ammunition that couldn't be used. Only sticks and drums were allowed for combat use. |
|
I'm sure in the last 70 years there have been no improvements in design, manufacturing or materials that would allow quad stack mags to work.

View Quote Who was it that made a 45acp carbine in the 70's that looked like a thompson with a quad-stack magazine? I thought it was the demro wasp, but all the demro pictures I can find now show a plain stick mag... |

|
yeah, if we can put a man on the moon, we can prolly make a reliable quad stack. Hard to imagine that the engineering is impossible to overcome...

Maybe I missed it but will these work reliably with 300BLK? What about with a full load of heavy 220gr subs?
|
|
Need to know if these work in Tavors and the HK MR556. Thanks!

The price kinda kills it for me. I know people are going to argue that these are competitive with other offerings of the same round capacity and so on but it's hard to go from paying sub-$20.00 dollars for a 40 round magazine to paying $120~130.00 for 20 more rounds. I'd rather just buy a couple 30 or 40 rounders.
I'd be more excited if you guys started offering Gen 3 40's in FDE/SAND. |

View Quote As a huge Magpul fan, I am sorry to say that their standard 30 rounders don't even work that well when filled with 220gr Sub .300blk. This is no condemnation of Pmags. USGI mags don't work at all. Pmag 20s are dead nuts reliable. |

Pmag 20s are dead nuts reliable. Why the 20's? My guess is because the rounds are quite a bit heavier and the spring probably isn't strong enough to push 30 of them up fast enough for the BCG. They use the same spring in the 20's (atleast they used to)....smaller space, more compression + 10 less rounds to push up....again just a guess. |

It's a niche market that I'm surprised Magpul is willing to waste R&D on. Two $17 ETS interlocking mags (60 rounds, $34) vs the D60? No thanks. Let's get those GL9 mags out already! |
