Are we ever going to get AK M3 mags in colors other than black? What I really need is OD green. I'm not really interested in sand if that is coming soon...I'd rather have factory coloration...

Just dye them OD green.  That is what I am going to do with regular Sand colored AK Pmags when I get them in.

Are the m3 AK mags even available in sand yet? I haven't seen them...

Also, the color that looks the closest requires 3 different rit dyes. I don't want to start a dye studio... Especially for a color that probably won't be a perfect match...

"oh jesus don't want me for a sun beam....sun beams are never made like me-eeeeeeee..."

I'm pretty sure they've stated they're making sand and black only.

You don't need to bump this post any more, glad you can finally have closure.

edit: I was speaking of the MOE line, but what about their latest offerings makes you think they're release any colors in the M3 line? They've stopped making colors across their entire magazine line. I'd bet all I had against them treating the M3 AK mag any differently.

From internet babble I have seen, there was some problem with the colored polymers when they had to make them thin enough for magazines.  I don't know if they broke or bulged or whatever.  But they had a problem.  Supposedly that problem was not an issue with stocks and grips and such - just magazines.  Black was stronger and didn't have the problem.  For some reason, they sell also sand magazines, so I assume ass-ugly vanilla is stronger too (I think that's the official name for the sand color).

But like you, I am zero percent interested in ever dyeing plastic magazines and trying to get them to match my furniture.  I've seen the results when others tried, even when they used a specific formula.  It always looks a little off from the furniture they're trying to match.  OD would be nice.  But until they break the secret to making OD plastic that is as tough as black plastic, I don't think we're getting OD magazines again.

If the ONLY option is to dye sand ones, I'd prolly do it (one of them)...but AFAIK sand m3 AK mags aren't available or even announced. Either way, it'd take magpul a whole 10 seconds go say "you're SOL"... so I don't see why they refuse to do so. I too have read lots of net rumors, but I came here to get something definitive straight from the horses mouth, preferably. If they are never gonna make other colors or sand, fine, just say so!

Brownells shows sand for the m3 mag now...available for preorder. That's something I guess.
