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.

Any future plans for other caliber mags?
If you can't beat them, join them. Then beat them.
If that doesn't work, arrange to have them beaten.

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.

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.

Rich, any swelling issues with these that seem to be a problem with older poly type mags?

I really like the way these look so far.
