Maybe some of their new hires will be hippy pinko bama loving nut huggers who will convert over from the dark side and just maybe then convert some of their bama loving friends

While I strongly applaud MagPul for keeping their word to dump Kolorado and move to Texas, I have to wonder about the choice... Austin IS the Kalifornia / Kolorado of Texas... I wonder how long until the Austin Silly Council passes a Ban (or more likely special taxes) on companies making 2nd amemdment items. Thankfully LaRue is unlikely to suffer such silly sh!t in Leander! BIGGER_HAMMER  Was wondering this myself. Strange place to move their business. It's like moving from Moscow to Stalingrad looking to escape communism. Austin was chosen because of a number of reasons but we like being the counterculture, kind of like in Boulder. Keeps us on our toes philosophically speaking. We spent several days in Dallas/Fort Worth and it was a close call. In the end we are just happy to be in Texas and the music and hills in Austin are hard to beat. Too bad. There's an industrial Park in Burleson that's half empty and right on I-35W!! |

Yes, but now the address is out, the looney lib-tards in Austin will have a place to make media scenes, die ins & to splash red paint all over everything next time they feel the need for "social activism"... and sadly Austin (and by extension due to easy drive Westlake) has LOTS of those folks.

Well, you're not only a lot closer, you wouldn't have to fight your way all the way across the middle of Austin to get over there. There's really no good way to get to that part of town from the PVille area... any way I could go I would pretty much have to get into I35, Mopac or Loop 360 suckage or some combination of the above. Anyway, it is all academic because Magpul doesn't have any jobs posted anywhere that I can find. I think they have a lot more people who'd like to work for them than they have openings. |

I used to work at bee cave and 360 so near where they are going and there were days it took an hour. Austin traffic blows. From what I can see they say send in a resume and if they have something that fits they will call. Would be cool but I'm sure I have a slim to none shot. Oh well cool that they are back in the same area as me again!

Oh well cool that they are back in the same area as me again! I'm not planning on sending a resume... Unless I had some kind of clue as to what they are looking for I'd have no idea how to tailor the presentation of my experience and skills to fit the roles they might be recruiting for. In all reality the only kind of jobs that I'm qualified for that would likely pay enough would be in IT. I don't imagine they have much needs there if they are like most manufacturing companies (they probably contract a lot of it out), and chances are they may already have technical staff that are relocating from Colorado. |

Oh... anyway, FWIW... and I can't say this is for sure about Magpul... but generally if a company has no jobs posted anywhere and their web site careers section just says to send in a resume it generally means they have no serious plans of hiring anyone for anything any time soon. So if y'all don't hear anything back from them or you just get a form "flush" letter, don't be too disappointed. When they get serious about hiring they will post jobs and/or engage recruiter(s). That's just the way the hiring processes usually work these days.

They arent making Mags in Austin, as far as I know. Their production occurs in their Wyoming facility.
The austin location is an office building.
