Release date?
Hoping nothing comes down from the ass clowns in DC before they're released! |
|
I hope they jump straight to metal-reinforced magazines. I'd be in for a bunch.

I went ahead and bought a bunch of Bulgarian 74's for $9.99 from CDNN. Will still get Magpuls when they come out, but original Bulgarian at that price was a no brained.

View Quote From the description and picture, it looks like they just have steel floorplates and feed lips. I don't think it has a steel rear locking tab or front lug, does it? They don't look like military surplus Bulgarian mags. |

Those are the cheap non military ones. No steel reinforcements in the mag.

They're working on tactical manbags and suspenders first. AK74 mags come next after that.
Edit to add: That was sarcasm, of course. I know they posted in the past that the fancy clothes department is separate from the gun bits department and don't really compete for resources. |
|
I was trusting that these would be out before Nov 8th.
I'm ready for FHRC in everything that the neckbeards will be panic buying on Nov 9th...., but for these AK-74 mags! |
|
They are likely pumping out their production mags before the elections.
After that the 5.45 mags will come out. Just a guess though. I never would have thought there was a market for AUG mags. |
|
|
Okay now that the election is over and it seems our rights are good for a while how about any kind of news on these?
|
|
I'm guessing they screwed the pooch/jumped the gun on these mags!
They were probably meant for 2017 release! |
|
Does Magpul respond to these threads? Been watching for 74 mags for months. |
|
Unless they changed there mind about doing the steel reinforcements? This could have delayed them?
|
|
OK...sorry. Yes, production has made it difficult to get revisions done on many unreleased products, which has delayed a lot of the SHOT 2016 releases. 74 mags are in revision, should be seeing them by SHOT show 2017 if all goes well. Here's to hoping we see wider availability of good 5.45 platforms in the coming months.

AK-74 mags in Revision? Now that sounds good to me! Money is waiting in hand! Thank you for the reply.

Okay Magpul at least give us some kind of idea when these are going to be released? Ssssshhhhh.
|
|
|
I canceled my outstanding backorder for them. Just realized I placed it a year ago.
Just as easy to get quality surplus mags from the EE, or go with Tapco/V-Proj 74 mags for inexpensive all-polymer mags. Sorry Magpul, these had too long between announcing and releasing, I've moved on. I'd still be interested in 5.56 AK mags. |

I bought a butt load of 45 round mil surp. mags.
Got tired of the wait. Count me out of the market. |

Maybe when they arrive we'll get them in MCT.........
Which isn't a bad idea. |
|
Wait your turn commie gun fans, the UBR 2 is the priority right now!

OK...funny and all, but the apparel side certainly doesn't affect programs on the hard goods side.
We are nearing the finish line on this one. Testing is complete with the final version. Still takes some time for production ramp up, but the wait is almost over. I'm a 74 fan, so I've been eagerly awaiting this as much as anyone. I did my final approval checks this past weekend. MCT 30 rounders, as well as 10 and 20rd mags in black will be based on demand. With the current availability of 5.45 rifles, it may not make sense to offer 2 colors, but we shall see how things go. I'd certainly like to be able to do that. |
