@Brownells
Any plans for any limited capacity mags? 10/20, 10/30 10/25? I know a bunch of people that would buy a butt load of those if you made them, especially aluminium USGI ones. Currently, the only manufacturer I know that creates limited capacity USGI mags are C products and they're using Stainless Steel mags. |

Quoted:. We did some 5 & 10 round magazines, but we weren't happy with them. We may revisit this down the road. |

Knew you guys were gonna go make reproductions of the prototype AR15s ever since I saw that CAD drawing of the proto FSB, this 25 round mag, and Nodak saying they were gonna do a new run of proto lowers. It just aaaall added up.
The real question, tho: trigger charging handle uppers? |

Any chance you will have any spare bolt latches (I bought one of your lowers on GB without the latch)? Quoted:
Quoted: The first batch was 105, the second batch just machined is 50. I have not yet begun processing them as we have to make some more bolt hold latches too. |
| Are they that much more expensive to produce than their 30s and 20s? They use basically the same body style (their 20 is not a traditional 20 body but a cut down 30). Plenty of people buy the 20s even though they are old school "retro". Personally, I like the idea of a 25 round mag, and I'd buy them to use, not collect. If these are priced around the same as their other mags, they should sell a lot of them. Economics of scale. Again, I am not sure how much it cost for them to produce these mags, I know they are using the same internals as their other mags though (30 round mag spring, and 20 round follower). |

Quoted:
Proprietary stamping dies Low volume production for low volume demand It's pretty basic really.  The body looks identical to a 20, same lines, etc. just extended. I could be wrong, but it seems as if an existing die could be modified without too much trouble. Also, the fact that it uses the same followers / springs as their other mags helps. The body is literally the only piece that is new. |

Brownells, any updates for this? very interested!

Proprietary stamping dies Low volume production for low volume demand It's pretty basic really. New tooling for the body and floorplate was required to get these as authentic as possible. This magazine does have a riveted front face and feed lip geometry like the original (which is not the same as our 20rd USGI). The flooplate is also longer due to the angle of the base. |
