See, this just goes in line with my personal opinion on buying things.
I NEVER buy the "first model year" of anything, Cars, guns, mags, computers, anything.
I love magpul, and I think it is GREAT they are constantly revising and improving their stuff. They are NOT content to leave "good enough alone." I am a customer for life, and I have told Rich that personally.
BUT.
I know when a magpul product come out, there will be revisions.
There was the:
M93 Pre-production. a few people on arfcom got those.
M93 Production
M93A
M93A2 - (this is the one I bought)
And then the M93B.
Then there was the follower, there is a Gen 1, and a Gen 2, BUT revisions were constantly being made to BOTH the material used and the design.
Now the UBR is on its way. And I am pretty sure there will be revisions to that as well. Now, I WANT a UBR, and ii do plan on buying one, I just dont want to be the FIRST.
I do understand that the customer service at Magpul is first class, and they would be more than happy to replace anything that goes wrong, or swap something out if I have issues... but I would prefer to not go through the hassel of returning, and waiting. I just want to "Buy it once, and forget about it."
I do plan on buying 30 Black Pmags with windows, but I am just going to wait a while.
have a good one.
*edited to add*
Holy shit. I completely forgot about the MASADA. I am definitely buying one of those too, but, again, i dont plan on buying one of the first production runs.
