I think I will move to another state just so I can buy these mags.

DAMN YOU, MARYLAND LIBERALS!

if they were stackable like the Sig mags, that would freaking rock.

looks great magpul

just about every product you take on i am saying "wow, these people get it"

now if one was to combine magpul with larue--- that would be some nice hardware

Just from the pictures that are posted, it doesn't look like it has the pressed in sections that a metal magazine has. If that is that case, will these hold and feed other rounds (6.8, 6.5, etc.) as well?

My credit card is HOT for these- projected availability date?  What colors?

Will you advertise these on your site and then charge my card and make me wait at least two months to get them? Cause if not I'm ready to buy some too.

Lookin' very, very good! Of course, we will need these with interior ribs sized for the 6.5 Grendel case body. I need to have Bill Alexander give you a call!!!

Done right, you could make these an intermediate cartridge magazine that will work for BOTH 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC. I like 'em. They have a classy design.

Unique.  Certain to be reliable.  Cheap.

I can't see anything wrong with ordering a few when they become available.  They certainly aren't any more expensive than comparable Al mags.

Count me in for a tenpack when they hit the market.

GOD BLESS YOU MAGPUL, yet another product i wanna order right now!!

I just hope they work better than my one PROMAG polymer magazine....
the rounds wont stay in and sometimes fly out at random.

I'd be up for a "bakers dozen". (6 black for in town, 6 OD for up north, and 1 "dark earth" for range work)

No window, though... Save that for the movies.

Looks very similar in design to the Steyr Aug mags which never gave me any problems.  I like the cover.  Since the Aug mags were reliable in 42 round configuration, any attempt to make capacity above 30?  There are very few 40 rounders that work well for ARs.

Awesome!
2 suggestions:

1. Make them click together like g36 or sig550 series.

2. Make them in clear or smoke color.

If not, I'm buying them anyway.

You just know these are going to start showing up in futuristic movies!

Actually I like the little windows. I'll stick with USGI for serious use but I would like a few of these to try for range use. Put me down for 6 OD's with the windows please!

I like the smoke color idea. Then you've got a "window" for the whole stack!

I want mags, that last LONG. I like the CProducts SS mags.

If I get those Magpul Mags at the same price as Alu ones, I´ll get Alu.

Now if the price is way cheaper ... I might stock up some ...

My guess is that any "clear" plastic will be inferior to the nylon / glass(?) base stuff Magpul uses.

Have you ever seen/handled a Steyr AUG mag?

Not an issue.

Newp, just going from what I've seen of other plastic / composite items. I would still say the POTENTIAL is there for an opaque composite item to be superior to a translucent one. That said, I have no doubt the AUG mags are tough. Do they have metal feed lips? If not, how is this not an issue?

No they don't have metal feed lips.

The AUG mags are not really "clear" but more of a translucent tan color. The original mags were clear but they did have some issues so Steyr went to the tan instead.

Im a polymer mag fiend

Wait - I don't get it.  Other than "the look," why buy $14 polymer mags that are "disposable" and/or "supplements" when you can buy an aluminum-bodied C-products mag for the same price (or cheaper)?

I'm not seeing the value?  (however, I dig the round indicator window and can understand wanting them for the tacticool factor).

Will these fit the same way into existing mag pouches, like GI 3 mag carriers, or will we only get 2 of them in an old 3 mag pouch???

I didn't read the whole thread yet, so excuse me if this has been mentioned.

You should do this same thing in a 9mm mag. I think it would be perfect. I would actually like to see a 9mm straight mag in this design that is full size front to back, then you wouldn't need a mag block.

I also love the 5.56 ones in this thread. I will without a doubt buy at least 10...maybe 10 black and 10 OD.

What the hell...do a .22 LR full size mag as well......I would go in major debt buying all 3 calibers from you guys.

They're lighter, don't have the finish wear off, have the load window, have Magpul advanced followers already installed, can be tactically reloaded with a full 30rds in them and not have to be downloaded to 28rds, they come in different colors based on your environment, come with their own dust covers/feedlip covers for long term storage.  On top of all this, they're the same price as a standard GI mag, if you don't see the value in that I think you may need to think about it a bit more.

... Nice looking mags. Is the quoted statement above imply that Magpul considers these a true "disposable magazine"? The weak-link on any polymer mag is the catch as they don't have the modulus or hardness properties their aluminum counterparts do, able to withstand repeated cycling.


Orlite, Steyr, HK, manage to make theirs reliable and long lasting. Will have to pick up some of these anyways.

In other words, if there is a ban, we can run the injection molder 24/7 for a week and stockpile 10 years supply of mags.  Bravo.

I love you.


The qoute below yours simply confirms it!

The cheap price is incredibly attractice too. I WILL get some!

hahaha, okay mister jokey joke maker, now I know you're not talking about the Israeli "I refuse to drop free" Orlite mags here.

Anyways, this looks pretty cool. Just how many are going to be available initially? I know most of the first run is going to be delivered to AZ to a member who's screen name starts and ends with "M", so when are the rest of us going to see these? Same time as the UBR perhaps?
