Interesting story I thought I'd share.

I think we'd certainly welcome MagPul, their 200 jobs and $85m a year revenues to Texas...

Gov. Perry needs to stop sweet talking California companies to move to Texas and give MAGPUL a call!

I heard Magpul is going to Nevada.

As much as possible, the company tries to contract with Colorado vendors, who represent about 90 percent of its supply chain, he said. Those suppliers received about $46 million last year from Magpul, with the company projecting that number to reach $85 million for 2013, Liptak said.


From $46m to $85m?  Holy crap!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

WTF?  Nevada?  Harry Reid?  Why!?  WHY!?

I hope they actually don't have to move.  Relocating an operation like that would cost them big bucks.

I would imagine with the demand for Mags (Especially MagPul products) they would be running 24-7 to try and catch up.

Come on down to Texas!  Closer to your plastic feedsources and great shipping options from Houston.

Not sure if it has been occupied yet but there is an empty plant in Greenville where an injection molding operation moved out.  Could just bring machines back in start producing here.  Almost sounds like plug and play!

Hopefully its a rumor. I agree, moving to REID land is dumb IMO, unless he says one thing in public, and in private does another.

But, if they cant make 30rd mags, it would cost them even more money to NOT move.

Yeah, but we got that dumbf_ck idiot Sheila Jackson Lee in the US House...   At least Reid might look like he could own a gun...

Sent Magpul an email asking when they were going to be packing
and on their way to Texas.

All professional politicians are bad IMO. Just too much to even get into. The system is too corrupt for it to matter anymore. We just have to take what the give us up the rear with no lube.
