My dealer just got 3 mags in.   I've got two of them on hold till I can get in to pick them up.



Edit....I am so ashamed. I own the page and don't even have a pic.

Well, cheaper than a Beta Drum, and potentially more reliable. I'll pick up a hundred rounder once they're available.

Pretty dang pricey for 60 rounds especially when you can get 2 30 rounders for cheap. But........that's Surefire.
I'll probably get one just for the cool factor.

Today I handled the SF 60rnd mag at The Gun Store in Cedar Park, Tx. The Surefire Rep stopped by with one.  It looks like a quality item and I'm very excited about it.  I have a Registered Reciever M16 so this is a must purchase me.

The guy said it was done on a mill and a drill press a few years back.  But you can do that if you are one of the Lucky ones.

We are hoping he gets the 100rd mag early also.  

That 60 is supposed to be at the 4th of July MG Shoot in Texas.  It is expected to see some more use.

Yes, he was banned from here or two year or so ago.

So lets see about $100,000 in Class 3 guns were used to test a $129.00 Mag.
COOL

God that disassembly reassembly looks like a pain in the ass.
If i'm going to get one might as well spend the extra bit of cash and get a 100 rounder. I get may get 2 for the zombie hoards.

Although the mag is easy to assemble and disassemble, it is not as easy as a standard mag. When reassembling the mag, it is possible to "get it wrong" or make a kink in the spring if you aren't paying attention and keeping them to the rear of the mag.
The best way to reassemble the mag is to first emplace the 2 column follower, the 2 column follower spring and 4 column follower into the mag body. There is only one way it can go.
Now, take the divider/spring guide (looks like a curved popsicle stick with a flat base) and slide it through the slot in the 2 column follower that is at the top of the mag, vic the feed lips.(as if you are loading, or stabbing the follower) You may have to flip it over and look into the bottom of the mag. Ensure that the curve of the divider is going in the same direction of the curve in the mag. Now, you should have the divider flat on it's own base,(on a table or flat surface) going through the 2 column follower from the top of the mag, which in turn will go through the 2 follower spring. You will be able to see it looking down into the bottom of the mag. Now, you have a platform in which to load the two 4 follower springs and the coupler. As the springs are compressed, the divider will remain inside the spring coils and keep them in line at the rear of the mag. Once the springs are compressed, and snapped beneath the base plate tabs, you simply pull the divider out of the top of the follower, and slide it into position at the bottom of the mag, inside the bottom 2 column follower spring, ensuring that the divider's curve is going the same way as the mag's curve. Replace the base plate. Now, load the mag. For the most part, if you have done something wrong, you will know in the first 10 rounds. Test for function.

I have disassembled and assembled the mags several times with no issues just "jamming the springs back in." It can certainly be done. However, the above TTP leaves less room for error. If you are anything like me, you don't take you mags apart often anyway. (I spent a few years in the Army, and shoot some. I have only disassembled 1, One, as in a single 30 round mag in my whole life. Just throwing that out there) But, I know guys will take these apart anyway.

Let me know if there are any questions to the above TTP. When you guys read it, it may not make sense as I wrote it, and I'll be glad to expound.
