Lancer AWM Exotic Colors (Translucent UDE P9) (Page 11 of 11)
| Pretty sure those are Gen 1. When you get them, if they are Gen 2 it will say so on the package. I don't recall any Gen 2 markings on the mags themselves though, but I have not looked at my G2 mags in ages. |

Not sure what the upgrades are in the gen 2 even after a cursory look into it. |

I ordered 25 of these. definitely gen 1 I wouldn't worry about it. from what most people have said there's very little difference between gen 1 and gen 2. supposedly the feed lip geometry is tweaked a tad, and they changed the floor plate locking bit on the inside to allow for the mag to fit better on a closed bolt. but other than that, they're nearly identical. for the price I wouldn't put another thought in it. |

According to Lancer FWIW: Up to 22% reduction in insertion force on a closed bolt Proprietary polymer body offers unmatched durability, even in sub-freezing conditions (tested from -40F to +180F) Hardened steel feed lips don’t wear, bend, crack, deform, or split under heavy sustained fire, extreme temperature cycling, or extended storage Impact and chemical resistant polymer body meets or exceeds military testing standards Anti-tilt follower with stainless steel spring allows for loaded mag storage without degrading performance Round markers and translucent bodies (certain models) provide instant visual load check Survives over 122% more 5-foot drops on concrete than the nearest competitor in Department of Defense TOP testing At 3.8 oz., the L5AWM GEN 2 is the lightest weight professional grade magazine on the market, and up to 36% lighter than other polymer magazines The L5AWM GEN 2 is compatible with modern weapon systems, including M4/M16/AR15, SCAR16, HK416, and numerous other variants chambered in 5.56x45mm /.223 Remington Designed, tooled, manufactured, and assembled in the USA Improved Combat Readiness Translucent magazine bodies (select models) make for easy pre-training inspections Expedites visual confirmation of ammunition levels during and between exercises Superior Safety and Efficiency Reduces weapon malfunctions by providing increased reliability Allows for immediate visual identification of ammunition type Increases ammunition awareness during reloads    As far as telling them apart, I think I found a way, as I was organizing my mags tonight as I've recently got some more in, including Gen 2's I noticed this difference on the left side of the feed lips.

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.

The alien green wasn't one of my favorite colors. I have 2 just to have the various colors. Will get 10 of these on sale and coat the mag body some sort of earth tone color with AlumaHyde or something similar. An $8 Lancer can't be beat. |

Palmetto shows these as clearance with the zombie green also showing close-out. So I wonder if this is just PSA getting rid of them or Lancer getting rid of these colors? Maybe its just the Gen 1's they're clearancing to make room for Gen 2's? I wonder if I emailed PSA if they would give me a straight answer? If they are getting rid of those colors altogether, then I'd like to get a few more of each before they are gone for good. |

I hear ya. I just now ordered a six of FDE and a six of translucent smoke from Botach. |

I saw the white and was debating getting some, just to have. Oh dear Lord, I'm getting into the "collecting" phase, lol. |

Reach out to them and let them know there’s some demand. I have to imagine coyote would be a bigger seller than UDE or alien green. |
