seems a bit excessive for semiauto use. i like the idea of being able to own a 60 round mag, but i'd rather spend my limited funds on other items.

Just meh to me. A few friends have them. They are good for running a carbine COF if you want to avoid changing mags, but otherwise they are huge, the follower sucks, and they cost far too much.

I thought I wanted one before I saw those pics. You would think $110 would get you something that doesn't look like it came out of a Chinese Tapco factory.
 Those welds look like shit. For that kind of change you would think they would be built like a Knights  or LaRue magazine.

I'd like to get one. Surefire can suck a barrel of dicks for grossly inflating the price of these magazines.

Makes sense in one of those gay IAR things. In a semi-auto AR-15, not so much.
But not everything has to make sense. Seems like it'd be fun to have one or two... |

I wonder why then they are still listed as "Coming Soon" on Surefire's website, which is what it has said for several months now.

I can see the appeal, and it seems well-executed. Let us know how it runs.
Price is a little higher than a standard magazine, but quite a bit lower than many AK drums. A lot of posters in this thread have evidently never purchased any other magazine than a STANAG AR one. |

Just to answer a couple questions real quick
- Yes you can load it very easy by hand, no lula needed, the design of the springs and followers is one of a kind. - Much lighter than I expected, I dont have a scale handy, but like I said lighter than expected. - Smooth operation, coated with some kind of teflon feeling coating |

I have also heard that they haven't been very reliable for those that are using them in 3-gun. I'll be waiting on the rumored Magpul quad stack. For the record I'm not averse to spending that much on a mag as I have a few Brazos tuned 20 round mags for my STI as well as a few Knights mags for my .MA-10, but those mags are of very high quality, they aren't just a couple of barely trimmed stampings spot welded together. |

I put 60rds of Wolf through it today, ran great and even took the wife and the video camera but unfortunately they don't get along and only the last 27rds were filmed, I'll try again this weekend.
