I’m wagering that the 7.72x51 mags are for the ACR.
I’m hoping and praying that the 'Pul is going to display the production model of the ACS. I am growing weary over the wait. Perhaps some snazzy pics and intel on the final version will tether my dinero to my wallet.
A couple quick points to clarify before I hit the sack:
The PMAG 20-LR is a 20-round curved 7.62 NATO/.308 Winchester magazine designed for weapons that use SR25-pattern magazines (i.e. M110, Mk11, LWRC SABR, LaRue OSR, DPMS, Massoud, etc.). It has a four-way anti-tilt follower similar to the standard PMAG, and was designed specifically with M118LR ammunition in mind (read: military applications).
The EMAG is the “Export Magazine”. Although it remains 100% compatible with AR15/M16 weapon systems, its slim profile and unique geometry are optimized for foreign-made weapon systems such as the HK 416, FN SCAR, SA-80, ARX-160, etc.
No rimfire magazines at this time, although that is a damn good idea that I’ve been wanting to see for a long time!
More info to come soon. I’ll see if I can’t get a PDF of the catalog online tomorrow, assuming I can shrink it to a reasonable file size!
The PMAG 20-LR is not “for” the LaRue OSR any more than it is “for” the SASS, DPMS, LWRC SABR, etc. If anything, it is for the Magpul Massoud, which continues its development quietly in the back room of our shop.
I am ecstatic to hear this news, especially because some one mentioned the SABR!
Just in case you have been one of the poor souls waiting you better know…they officially began taking orders yesterday morning. I called EARLY and they said a few people had already called. $3125 expected price on the 18" DMR, OUCH!
I feel a more than a little bit silly spending that much on one rifle, but honestly, a friggin M1A is almost $2,000 nowadays. I will just be glad just to get it in the safe before any heavy handed anti-gun action occurs. Delivery is expected in early April, I hope they hold up to that. I have seen some folks waiting a LOOOOOONG time on the LWRC boards.
Sorry I didn’t mean to hi-jack…I thought people who were interested would want to know before the wait is 30 some odd weeks.
I wouldn’t think they would be available seperately. I was on the waiting list at the dealers that took names of people that wanted one. But we will all have to wait and see now.
Assuming you’re talking about the Magpul MPL lowers that Noveske has been building guns on, I would say no. Magpul has been pretty up front about the fact that there are insurance issues involved if nothing else, and the current arrangement with Noveske provides a very unique – and very limited – loophole. Part of the problem, if you want to call it that, is that Magpul found these lowers too costly to make, and elected not to pursue serial production.
The real question is whether or not we’ll ever see Noveske’s own lowers sold again, given the shortages – he can’t even seem to get them in quantity to address existing orders right now.
SABR is exciting indeed…kind of waiting on info for the SCAR-H. But the SABR is on my “list”. I am excited to see a lot of LWRC products available finally! Its a good time to be a firearms enthusiast for sure.
I still dont understand why the SCAR-L or HK416 would need a different pattern magazine than the PMAG. A slimmer profile? I can see that it lacks the PMAG’s ribs (wonder if that makes it any weaker…) but I don’t entirely understand it’s purpose…
EDIT - Wanted to add, the SABR is a 7.62 version of the LWRC piston rifles with some differences (like a left side located charging handle) ect. You can see it on their site LWCRI.com
