ICYMI: Magpul Gen 3 AK mags (steel reinforced)

[Plumber237]

Nope.

It's all markup.

I got my ((10)) waffles from Chief Thunder back in the day for $8/ea.

Whaaaaaaaaat!?

Kvar has that market in a stranglehold and can set their pricing. Cheif Thunder days are long gone. Waffle mags should and could cost less than $15.

Ha, we were both writing about the Chief at the same time. I just left my reply window open while I went to make a drink.

Whaaaaaaaaat!?

Why should they cost more than $10?

High quality Euro-pattern steel is still going for around that.

[Plumber237]

Not saying that they should cost more than $10, I'm just surprised that they quadrupled with one company cornering the market on them, I can see a decent price increase, but 4x....crazy

I'm just pumped that Magpul has entered the market for some competition.

Magpul has entered the market for some competition.

They're going to have to get the prices on the metal lined mags down where the MOE mags are before they can really compete.

You can get 2 x high quality Polish steel mags from AIM and still have a few bucks left over for a bottle of Żywiec for what one of the serious-use AK PMAGs goes for at Primary.

I've had such bad luck with steel mags that I'd rather spend the extra $10 and not worry about it. I know I'm in the minority, but also that I'm not the only one. Plus many of the MOEs seem to be fine as is.

Whoa!

Seriously?

Do you live in that "upside down world" from Stranger Things and do battle with the Demogorgon?

I know there are different types/countries of origin, so I'm sure I just never got the right ones but I went through about six for my SAM7R that ether didn't fit the gun or had hardly noticeable dents in the body that were just big enough to bind the follower.

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but has anyone actually put their hands on a PMAG® 30 AK/AKM GEN M3™ (MAG573-SND) in the sand color? I see several websites listing the part number, but they all have either a stock photo of the black M3 version or a pic of the MOE Sand version. Have the MAG573-SND magazines ever been released?

I have two of the Sand M3 mags that I got from Gun Mag Warehouse in January when they were on sale for $15.99. Unfortunately they’re back up to $23.99 now:

Sweet! Thanks man. They actually have real pics of the sand version too.
