After being a supporter and user of US Palm products for a couple of years now, I have been rather stunned recently by the incredible unprofessionalism and immaturity exhibited by them on their Facebook page. And is seems that I am not the only one left scratching his head thinking: “What the Hell?”
For reasons unknown they actually decided to begin this Christmas season by posting a Christmas themed disgusting graphic photo depicting homosexual sado-masochism, and another pic promoting atheism as the belief system apparently followed by reasonable people while also slamming Christians.
Now this from their Jan. 27 update on their Facebook page:
"Dating advise by Uncle Leo:
I met a nice-looking girl in the park the other evening.
There was an instant spark between us.
She did this cute little dance, then immediately dropped to her knees and lay on the grass at my feet.
As we lay making love, I thought… “Damn, these Taser guns are really worth the money!”
Apparently even joking about felonious assault and aggravated rape on their company Facebook page is a level to which US Palm willingly sinks.
As long as you are not adding a foreign part, you are ok, even it the mag does not use that part.
An AK with a US FCG but foreign muzzle device and piston would be complaint untill you added a foreign magazine. A US Mag or even no Mag at all is legal.
I remembered a previous post mentioning this and found it.
These cut away photos show the difference between the metal reinforcing between these and the Bulgarian mags in the pics below. Please also notice the difference in the reinforcing between the two Bulgarian mags.
And if these are important considerations for anyone, US Palm Mags:
-do not have a full magazine witness hole.
-do not work with Lula mag loaders
-will not fit in the new SIG 556R 7.62x39 rifle.
-will not work with Solar Tactical’s MFER mag funnel (unless you dremel it or the mags)
These particular mags DO NOT have steel spine reinforcements. Those pics are correct but the initial email promoting them from K-VAR had misleading wording.
Thank you for your review. I appreciated the mixed media review as well as the AK-47 push ups. You see something new every day.
Belloc,
I’ve been following this thread for the last couple of days and finally had to chime in. Its been amazing watching your transformation from being supportive of US Palm product in your initial posts to trying to slam US Palm in later updates/revisions/etc. – all over a dumb graphic posted on facebook.
If you don’t agree with US Palm’s facebook post (which, for records sake, dealt with religious extremism and could be interpreted to favor atheism), thats fine. Please though, for everyones sake, try and stay objective and keep your emotions out of the thread. Your just cluttering up plouffedaddy’s excellent review with your constant updating, re-visioning, and other nonsense. You want to blog? Check out wordpress or start your own thread.
Again, this is a forum where we as believers or non stay objective and focused on the hardware, rather than the software.
I just got some PALM mags from DSG. They are extremely robust. They fit perfectly in my SA 85M, but a bit snug in my SARs. I WISH I had them to run at the range yesterday - but they look to be extremely high quality and sit up high in the magwell for good purchase of the top round from the bolt. Its like they were made expressly for my Hungarian. They also fit nicely in my el cheapo AK/AR chest rig. BTW - for those who may have had too much play in their long AMD magwell - this may be the ticket.
I have about 20 of these mags with only 5 of them being the G1 variety. All in all, I like the mags, use them almost exclusively, and haven’t had a problem with them in over 1,000 rds. I’m impressed with them.
