Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Green_Label: I thought once Lancer retired a color it wouldn't come back? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Green_Label: I thought once Lancer retired a color it wouldn't come back? That’s what the descriptions on CF read: Back in January, we were able to offer a special production batch of Lancer AR15-M16 mags in a limited run Alien Green color. The magazines quickly became the talk of the industry and we soon sold through the entire run after which we retired the color, making those who now own those mags members of a very exclusive group. Open to interpretation perhaps? Maybe the ‘we’ means CF and not Lancer? |

We're the Alien Green mags a co-operation between Lancer and Classic? By that wording in the above post, it would seem to be so.
I ended up with 4. Was looking through my mag stash a few days ago and found 2 Lancers in a really odd very dark red/almost deep maroon. Forgot I had them. Don't know what the color is called. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Me: I know this is totally nitpicking, but I'd like to see Lancer do some more colors for their regular line, with matching baseplates, vs. these colors they seem to do for dealers that come with black baseplates. Silly, I know, but I like the look of the FDE, robin's egg blue, purple, and red mags that were/are part of the regular Lancer line and come with matching baseplates (although red first appeared with black ones). It looks like Lancer has gone back to black baseplates on the translucent red mags. They started off with black but then switched to red, which I thought looked better. Confirmed with both Botach and AIM Surplus that the current production version has a black baseplate.

I may have been Botach’d as well. 😂
This was my first order with them and I was well aware of the possibility’s. Got a tracking number from them via UPS. No movement there for a week other than on the way. Now it redirects to a USPS tracking number with waiting for acceptance. I may get them but it’s not worth missing out on these. Just ordered more from Lanbo’s. My sons really want the green mags. |

^ I’m hoping so but the tracking info never looks like this. I usually have 3 - 5 packages a week delivered and many use the surepost option. Could just be the carriers not updating the tracking info.

Anyone have both to compare the shades of green? The color is the exact same (compared this morning myself and the pic above me also confirms it). The only difference i could tell is the single digit number on the floor plate. I honestly don't see the OG trans super green one being worth any more money when the alien green one is literally the same color and seems like its not a limited run like the first green mag. I'm assuming lancer had some sort of massive push from the public to release the green color again. The verbiage on classic firearms site basically said it was a one time deal. On one hand I think its cool that lancer re-released this color. But on the other hand I just paid 200 ish bucks for a robins egg blue mag on GB, so I'm going to be SUPER salty if I see that mag pop up online again for 19 bones a pop. |

If you shoot a lot of subsonic 300blk, just buy their dedicated 300blk mags. They get rid of the "rib" in the front (magpul does the same thing) so it doesn't come in contact with the heavy 190/200+ grain projectile. That reason alone and the easy ID (against magpul mags) are the reason why I only run these mags in my 300blk gun. The magpul 300blk specific magazines look too similar to their 556 mags for my liking. |
