Smoke colored PMAGs are out to several batches of people for field testing.
As you would expect, they insert without needing any extra pressure, and lock in place with ease in several different lowers. This was done empty, with a partial load, and with a full 30 rounds. My batch is out running through training and quals with a MSgt buddy of mine, and I’ll start running them next week with fellow LE instructors.
Now THAT would be a reason for me to buy some of these. If they figure out a way to put a Ranger pull on the bottom I will most definately pick up a few. I like these even better than the window model.
Stick, do you have a shot of one seated in a rifle?
I dig 'em. It will be interesting to see how the clear/smoked material holds up compared to the standard colors. Knowing Magpul, I have a strong suspicion they’re going to hold up fine.
Oh Stickman I’m disappointed. I could have sworn last time you showed pictures of smoked Pmags, you promised that the next time (this time) there’d be alternating M855 green tip and red tip tracers!!
Thankyou sir. I had thought that extra feedlip covers would be available down the road, but I could be wrong.
7KOPPER has mentioned that a Ranger Plate was being looked at.
Magpul is crazy swamped busy right now, so if you don’t get an immediate reply, don’t hold it against them. Then again, if their email is anything like mine, the spam filter eats some of my incoming items that it shouldn’t.
These smoke colored version of the PMAGs are being made by Magpul for TPD USA which will include them in their to be released (maybe after next month) AXR rifle which are Steyr AUG type US made rifle that takes AR mags.
TPD said (from the ref thread below) that these should be available in about a month.
