The cost of treason isn't paid in Dollars.

I'm not going to rush to throw away my Lancers anytime soon, but having more options on the market is always good.
|
|
I’m interested in trying a few. Wonder if they will offer them in SR25 and AK patterns.
|
|
|
Cool but I'll probably pass due to the cost.
|
|
|
Cool,very cool 😎. I just don't need yet more mags though.

Three choices.
Jesus was a liar who wanted to deceive everyone. Jesus was insane and THOUGHT he was the son of God. Jesus was who He said He was. No other option. It's simple to me. |
I just ran across the promo video.
Looks kinda cool. I'll wait a couple of months to try them though. |
|
|
Price?

Can't never could 'til try came along.

Interesting. They spent a LOT of time here on the forums arguing that a good transparent AR mag was impossible.
I’ll grab a bunch just because I’m a mag whore. |

My memory is fuzzy. What I remember is that they said it was difficult to make a quality translucent magazine. Then they bashed Lancer when those came out. Then they announced a transparent mag that was vaporware.
|
|
|
So a Lancer magazine but 40% more expensive?
|
|
|
Well... that is an interesting twist.

Not as bad as Larue or Armalite were against their competitors, but still pretty cringey. People still repeat their BS rumor that Lancer came in last in military testing. When the results were released it turned out the Lancer performed equally to the PMAG except with Mk318, and for some reason it only had issues out of direct impingement guns. |

As an AUG mag enjoyer, I'm down for some TMAG.

I love Magpul stuff, but this may be a day late and a dollar short. I don’t care about the past things said against lancer or anyone else. I think they just couldn’t manufacture one that lived up to there expectations for what a magazine should be. I respect them keeping it off the market until they were confident that the durability would be on par with there current offerings. I say a day late and dollar short due to the fact that lancers are out there and seem to work (I have none) from reports here and elsewhere, an also because if it can’t come to market at the price point of there current magazines or lancer then I don’t see me buying a ton of them. See through doesn’t equal worth more money in my eyes.

|
New options are cool but I can buy Lancers all day long for $19.99. Is the TMAG $4 better?
|
|
|
Hmmm. Wonder if it will take dye?
I have a lot of different pmags and a lot of Lancers. Will get a few of these to try out. |
|
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

neat magpul finally doing something new on the mag market. been awhile. I feel like they pulled a surefire or a colt and got so used to being king they just let everyone keep going and now have to play catch up. That high price tag might be more than the market is willing to tolerate but maybe its a sign magpul will get off the couch and do more colors or something. Still gonna buy one for my collection cause I have to.

I saw a video where they claimed these are DOD approved. Did these get tested or are they gambling on piggy backing them off the existing PMAG?

They haven't had a polymer that's been worth a shit tho. Now they have something exclusive to them, that works. We may start seeing different colors, depending on what color will do to the polymer. They have always been trying something different, it just hasn't given the best results. The price tag comes with that exclusive polymer that makes this work. Same for the AMAG, cost of material will drive those mags for future. |

I like magpul but I've had to toss a few out due to wear/aging. Steel feed lips would have been nice.
Haven't had to toss out any aluminum, steel or Lancer mags yet. But the options are cool. |
|
|
I need a six pack of these.

Cool, but meh. I've got a few lancers I bought primarily for the fun colors, transparent adds little to it. Can't recall the last time I looked at a windowed pmag/lancer for a rd check. But I'm also not on a battle field.

|
I bought the HK ones when they were around and less than 20 dollars. Not sure I need more novelty.

I'm sorry if the above info makes no sense. I'm kind of an idiot.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Asking for a friend.
When can I buy some? |
|
|
|
I’ll be grabbing a 10pk of them asap
I like magpul. And knowing they were trying this long, I’ll be happy to buy knowing the time they have vested in making a product and it passing their standards. They make good shit. |
|
|
I have no idea but I want a bunch of these bad, for absolutely no reason but I keep checking my usual retailers to see if they are in stock yet. Anxiously anticipating their arrival.

I must have a better hangover than I thought... You are saying that the first translucent TMAG was molded in '07? |

Honest question - what’s the advantage/fascination of translucent mags?
