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. |

@Brownells : any ETA (estimated time of AVAILABILITY) yet on these 25 round magazines?

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

ETA on the 25 rounders? I don't think I can wait much longer....

Production is in process, with the first batch out for assembly!

Are these going to be $50 a pop like the waffle mags or priced more reasonably?

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).

Proprietary stamping dies
Low volume production for low volume demand It's pretty basic really. |

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. |

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. |

Ok, fair enough. Looking forward to seeing these available soon.

@ Brownells - I for one am extremely grateful that y'all are doing all this retro stuff!...... and I'm not even a retro-head.
... at least not before y'all started doing the retro stuff! |
|
@brownells any updates on pricing / availability? Are we likely to see these before the new year?
