The few times Ive contacted them I have not got anywhere near competitive prices.  Would rather shop local always if the price is close.  I have heard lots of praise for that shop so maybe just the few items I have inquired about are not ones he gets a good price on?  Thanks for the info though.

Are you looking for mag followers or the Ranger plates or the original mag pulls?

Best price I have seen on the mag followers is from Belial on the OA2 forum.
If you know anbody in the military the best price on magpulls is at the Ft Lewis MCS, which I think were 6.95 for a package of 3.  They also had the Ranger plates for a couple bucks cheaper than I have seen on the net and there is no tax or shipping.

The best deal that I've found is to get them from Marty at the Puyallup Gun Show.  He always seems to have the best deals around on MagPul stuff.  I've tried buying online to beat his prices, but have always ended paying more after the shipping.

Marty = Belial. I believe he has stopped doing the Puyallup shows, to my great chagrin. I'm not sure if he is even still in business. Paging Belial??


ETA: Shot him an IM-- maybe he'll stick his nose in if he's online. After all, it's a gorgeous day for shooting!

You can make your own for a fraction of the cost. All you need is some para-chord, zip ties and duct tape. Pull the strands out of the para-chord, insert a plastic zip tie and duct tape it to the bottom of your mag. Works like a champ.

Sorry to hear that things haven't worked out for you in your dealings with us.  If you have a local shop that you enjoy, we certainly encourage you to support them.  I would also strongly encourage you to contact Belial/ Marty.  He is a great guy, and I think all of us here who have met him will vouch for that.

Its my own belief that there is more to a business at times than just prices.  It goes without saying that prices need to be competitive, but items need to be in stock, ship quickly, and customer service needs to be good regardless of what is being ordered (or not ordered).  Stocking a large variety of different items isn't cheap, and if a profit isn't made on things, the doors get closed.

Its easy to come to a board and simply post ads, or only make a post when trying to push an angle on a product you sell.  Its entirely another to come and actually be a part of the board, to help people out, and particpate as a member first, and dealer second.  


I would hope that people here look at me as a board member first, and only then as a sales source.

Hey I thank you for posting up.  I agree with you on your insight about a business.  I like small business a lot.  Can you PM or email me a price on ten MagPuls for 30 rnd 223 mags.  Black is the color I would desire.  Thanks again for posting up and thanks for the words of wisdom, they are noted.  Have a great rest of the weekend.
