We still have some tweaks to work out but here it is...
PMAG 30 (Polymag 30 rounds)  - Engineered from the ground up to be made of injection molded polymer. - Patent Pending design allows for a more aggressive constant curve of ammo stack than found on other Nylon magazines. - Made of "new to the market" reinforced polymer which is very strong and durable. - Can be seated on closed bolt with full 30 rounds loaded. - Snap cover protects feed lips during long term storage. - Optional maglevel window version that can be read from both sides. - Floorplate lock. - Proprietary anti tilt follower. - Debris grooves built into mag body. - Molded in Black, Flat Dark Earth and OD -Estimated retail price will be $11.95 for non window and $14.95 for dual Maglevel version. NOTE: This magazine is not meant to replace metal mags for individuals who shoot daily for a living. They were made as a volume supplement to issue mags that can be made quickly, in large numbers with minimum variances in manufacture.       Video of Pmag being tested today (Windows Media) |

So does that mean that they're intended as plinking mags as opposed to ones for people who's lives depend on them? Please elaborate. |

Yes, please do. All of the design features appear to be for a high-reliability magazine design. |

I am really just stating the design intent for this magazine out front so everyone understands why it was built. It is designed as a reliable mag that can be quickly fielded in large numbers. edited to add- Those who shoot everyday or very often would be the sort of person who would sift through metal mags and number them to get consistant results. That is ok for the individual shooter but when deploying 100,000s of magazines something as finicky as folding metal is tricky unless you have a good QA program to weed out the ringers which takes time. Molding gives consistancy and speed. |

you can keep your sand and snow, what I want to know is:
does it keep cow crap out? Cuz you don't know fun till you've dug cow craw out of an AR or its mags. |

Cool, too bad I'll never be able to bring them into NY. At least I can play with them in PA.
Looks like a good idea, better than the previous attempts at "alternative materials" M16 mags.

One other question... What kind of springs are you guys going to use, SS or CS? And in that same thought, will these take standard 30 rnd AR mag springs?

Same here. Taking that design and going a step further.. you could almost go all the way to making a water tight mag. But as it is it looks to already be sand proof. |

Seriously.. You could almost make a water tight, pop open - emergency mag that is reusable. I might be crazy, but if you put a hindged base plate with an o ring gasket in place of the glock style base plate, you could achieve water tightness. I'm not sure if there'd be a value in that, but I bet it could be done. |

Would there be any way to injection mold metal tabs into the mag catch slot?? I can see those wearing down in an expeditious manner.

My glock mags are heavily used and abused, but they seem to hold up in the area where the magazine catch interfaces with the mags. Not the same material, but a similar idea. My concern would be more along the lines of the feedlips, and that is something that has already been addressed in the P-mag development. |

Can Ranger plates be used with these? How about L-plates? Seems like it would be good to at least have L plates on mags like these so when they drop on hard surfaces it would help protect them. Great job on these and I look forward to having some soon. In fact send me some with that FDE UBR thats on its way......

I hope that is the case. I really like and want some of the PMAGs. I have great confidence in Magpul products. So this is no way should be read in lack of confidence in Magpul materials. However, the Glock is plastic on plastic at the magazine catch. Where the PMAG would be aluminum (catch) on plastic (magazine). Would there be an advantage to making a AR mag catch that was still aluminum, but overmolded with polymer at the magazine contact point? I realize you would then STILL have the polymer (catch) on aluminum (magazine), when metal magazines are used. But it would seem to be a good idea if PMAGs were exclusively used. Identical material between catch and magazine would probably give the same service life as we see in Glock catches and magazines. Just a thought! Your thoughts please Richard. |

I use push-pull when I insert AR mags. I don't use push pull when I insert G19 mags. Metal mag catch with non-beveled edges could make this a wear item. I view mags as disposable now anyways, so even if they last for 500 insertion cycles, that's fine with me -- just curious is all. |

I'm a fan of Magpul products but unless these can be had for less than the CProducts mags, I doubt I'd ever buy any. I'm sure others will buy them buy the boatload.

Good point, but I slam my Glock mags in hard enough to peen/ flange the edges (I'm guessing youdo as well). I understand what you mean, and I guess it will be a wait and see thing. With the Glock mags, I take a file to the edges when they start to make a large build up. The plastic used in the first P-Mags was very hard, and was more like a ceramic in its feel than a Glock plastic. No, I'm saying it was ceramic, just saying that my uneducated plastic brain made that link. It probably makes more sense to me having played around with them than it does trying to decipher my comments. Sorry about that....  |
