In our industry forum someone asked about our warranty for the mags. I completely forgot to put that in my original post.
As we said in the original post, we are trying to change people's views on AR mags from "disposable" to an item that will last as long as your AR. With that in mind, we offer a LIFETIME warranty on our mags. If you ever have a problem, or manage to break one ( we haven't been able to yet) just give us a call and we will replace it. We firmly believe that the most important thing a company can do is take care of it's customers, and we intend to do just that! PS. Thanks again for all of the orders in the last few days. It's been crazy around here getting all of these shipped out. Plus another sexy pic....

Any plans of 20 or even 15 round mags for bench shooting? Possibly 5 for hunting? If you had 20 rounders I'd try some out... I rarely use my 30 round magazines anymore..... 20 rounders just seems to work for most everything for me....

It'd be cool if you made a belt attachment with the coupler on it, so you could just couple the mag right to your belt.

We do plan on making some different versions, but those will probably come after the .308 mag is done. We are also working on a sweet automatic (switchblade) knife that should be coming in a few months, so be on the look out for that as well. |

Only issue I could really find would be for left handed shooters and having the magazine coupled on the right sight of the weapon (since lefties are forced to reach up and engage the mag release on "most" AR platforms with their right hand). The magazine coupled on the right side, although not covering the mag release does get in the way somewhat for speed reloads. Totally agree with this. I am a left handed shooter and run a left handed AR-15. So unfortunately these mags with not work for me when they are coupled together. The coupled mag with block the ejection port and my left hand mag release  . I know you guys have a lot on your plate right now design wise, but it would be nice to see a "left handed" version of these mags. Great product though, love that they are completely transparent and couple together without any additional parts. As soon as you guys make a 20 rounder for bench shooting I be getting one or two for sure, left hand friendly or not and I still may buy some of the 30 rounders any. Love to support new companies, keep up the good work guys, I'll be watching.

Look likes you could but hard to tell for sure. Be a pretty good solution for us lefties. |

Look likes you could but hard to tell for sure. Be a pretty good solution for us lefties. That's a very good question, but unfortunately the coupler is not designed to work that way. The coupler lock won't work well that way, but it kinda of works. We have been asked several times about coupling the mags "upside down" from each other (not related to lefties) and we always answer that to gain the most efficiency and reduce the chances of "fumbling" the mags when doing a re-load, we wanted to make sure the user did not have to "flip" the mags when doing a change. We put a great deal of thought into the coupling and we feel there is a very specific way to maximize it's use. We will have a video coming shortly explaining all of this in detail, but for now I will try my best to do it in writing. When you couple 2 mags, you should always start with the extra mag on the left side of the gun (opposite the ejection). There are a few reason for this, first, with the extra mag on the left, it will make hitting the bolt release a bit trickier, not difficult, but better to load the mags, then release the bolt before the SHTF. Also, with the extra mag on the left, your mag release is wide open making it easier to hit during a tactical re-load. And last, once you change the mags from left to right, the bolt release will now be fully exposed making your SHTF re-load faster with less chance for any errors. There is tons of scientific evidence that shows us how the first thing to go when your adrenaline kicks in is your fine motor skills. That is why we don't want people to have to flip the mags while doing a re-load, there would be a far greater chance of dropping them. Hopefully this post will make sense, I know sometimes I ramble on..... |

Received my non-coupled mags today.... Theyre awesome. Feel good, look good, load fine with 30rds and a closed bolt.
I had previously read a review of someone loading up the mags and shaking them back and forth were the bullets would fly out of the mag, well i sat there and shook like a dummy for twenty minutes and couldnt reproduce those results. Ill be rough on them when i run to the range next, but for now im quite satisfied. Shipping was also super quick, thanks ets |

I received two today. I only had limited time with them, but they function fine, and drop freely from both my JP and MEGA billet. They disassemble just as easily as in their videos. I did have a small issue with a sharp surface (I think molders call it a sprue) on one of the mags. There is some excess material on the front seam (right where my index would ride when inserting the mag) that has a sharp edge. It isn't anything that a quick swipe with a hobby blade, or my Dremel can't fix. If you slide your hand down the front of the mag, though, it will take a little skin. Just something to check out on your mags, and certainly no reason to not consider purchase.

Got mine today, 2 days from order. I am really liking the integrated coupler. I really tried to see if i could get it to come loose and short of just brute forcing it, its not going anywhere.
Snapped some DroidPotato pics if anyone was curious-it will clear a tactical link battery assist device. Short of a function check at the range, these look top notch next to my Lancers. They may be a hair shorter for COAL as I had a few hangups using my LULA loader. They hold 30 easily and seat on a closed bolt and drop free. I would like to see "20" or a known line molded in as a reference point for round count if you ever do a V2. Until then, I'll just shoot them till they are empty 
Excellent product-for every new kid on the block that claims to have innovated the tried and true AR mag, i think you might just have done it both with the flexible material and the integrated coupler. Kudos.
