I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on a few of these. It looks like they really did their homework. They have addressed every weakness of other polymer mags by using steel feed lips, mag catch slot, and running a strip of steel down the inside front of the mag.

Wow. I was expecting just a bigger version of the AWM, but this is like the next evolution of the poly/steel hybrid mag. I'm impressed.

I asked them if they had plans to make this back at the NRA show in May and they said it would be soon. |

I got to handle one of these today. It was heavier than a .308 PMAG but had less flex in the sides. It wiIl be SR25 pattern.
The Lancer rep said they would retail for $20 |

They might have been delayed with the introduction of the Ruger SR-762 and the DPMS GII. Hopefully Lancer is taking a bit more time to make sure the mags are compatible with these new platforms.

EDIT: Disregard I found them. Looks like they just put them on there being I last visited a few days ago and never seen them. Damn though the price!!! Well at least there not $80 bucks a pop like HK MR762 mags are. LOL |

Why pre-order from lancer and pay full retail?...
I have seen them 'pre-listed' on several websites. I should hope they are less. As-is they are more than double (near triple) the cost of a PMAG LR/SR. https://www.exilemachine.net/shop/mag-lancer-l7awm-7-62-20rd-trans-clr-85813.html http://www.primaryarms.com/Lancer-Systems-L7AWM-7-62NATO-20-Round-Trans-p/l7-20-clr.htm http://www.tacticallink.com/Lancer-L7AWM-20-Round-Translucent-Smoke-Magazine.html# |

Why pre-order from Lancer?
1. Probably get them before the ditributors do. 2. They'll all sell at full retail for awhile. 3. I only bought four of them and a couple bucks more each (worst case) is a small price to pay to get them early. |

Could be a non-sense # however considering all of the 'retail' prices I have heard for these before release/pre-order. (plus I live in PA and would get a 6% sales tax added, but I guess I would get them even sooner). 3. If it is $13 that would be $52 more on those 4 mags. I am not personally in any rush to toss $50 a piece on these mags (I have plenty of steel ones that work fine, and I know the COAL they can take), especially just to get them early, if you value getting them 'early' that much I suppose that is your prerogative. FYI, those "couple bucks" even with current products are not a "couple bucks". I just bought a few 20 and 30 round translucent mags from Exile (hence knowing about L7AWM listing). They are both under $15 each from Exile. Buy them from Lancer, they are $23-$24 each. I love Lancer L5AWM mags, and these cost 3 times as much (and completely sticker shocked me like others). I will sit back and see where they go, in both price and testing, so I suppose I should thank you for picking some up early

I'll probably pick up a couple to see what they offer over KAC/Magpul, but I was surprised at the $55 MSRP on the Translucent mags.

You're right. I ordered 4 7.62 mags and while I was on the site I added a 10 rd clear L5 as I knew it would come in handy. First, they charged my credit card for the full amount on order. Not super pleased but not upset. Second, I get home last night to see they shipped the L5 mag, billing me over 43 dollars -- the shipping was as much as the magazine price. I think it does make more sense to just wait and see what the distribution channel price turns out to be. I can understand Lancer holding at full retail as to not undercut their distro but their shipping and handling charges are eye watering. |

That is very salty unless you had them delivered 'next day' service. I would be ringing Lancer otherwise. Hopefully they only charge shipping once like Brownells or something. (and I wouldn't call it foolish, if you wanted them the quickest it seems the most likely route, did not foresee such shipping costs).
FYI I found another site "listing" them in the 30's. https://2afirearmsdealer.com/mag-lancer-l7awm-762-10rd-trans-clr.html |

I tested out the new Lancer in a DPMS GII Recon, a Ruger SR762 and a SIG 716.
I fired ten rounds through each rifle by singly loading the mag to test bolt lock. All three rifles locked open without issues. I then fired twenty rounds through each rifle by loading the mag to capacity. All sixty rounds fed fine. Ammo used was ZQ1 from Wal-Mart. So we appear to have a reliable and high quality magazine that seems to work fine in these three platforms for those who might be looking for a Gen3 PMAG alternative. On the down side, the Lancer is expensive. And it can't be had in a 25rd variety. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
