View Full Version : Magpul @ SHOT
A little tease I got today in my email:

Thanks though I see nothing ground breaking
SSDSS; thank you though Jax-
How about some MOE-ish AK handguards and some PAKMAGs?
I like those 20 and 25rd .308 M3 PMAGs. I think that's what Duane @ Magpul was teasing us with here last month. If someone is there, try to find out availability/timeframe on those.

This.
Glad to see the AK grip at least, as well as the 590 furniture. I'd be all kinds of down with some PAKMAGS!

Same here bud. I do like their new more vertical grip.

I guess it gives us another option out there with the Umbrella Corporation one and the BCM one. All things aside, I'll probably just pick up the UC one just because they're a local company. And the UC one seems better for those that stipple

I like the Moe K grip and the fixed carbine stock.
Thanks though I see nothing ground breaking
Huh? I see a lot of cool shit - 'specially for us 308 owners! I've been wanting a 10 round LR PMAG for a long time. Granted, it'll prolly be 2014 before we see any of this....
Thanks Jax.

Ain't that the truth.
Magpul PMag M3 announced Jan 2012 and hits shelves 10 months later Nov 2012.

This would be a good thing for a patrol rifle. Less time messing with adjusting the stock, it's already set.

I would love to see that. And for the .308 saiga, though I guess there's not a huge demand for the .308 saiga stuff.
The AK grip is intresting, maybe down the road I'll upgrade my cheap PGs. The mossberg furniture also caught my eye but I'm not chomping at the bit for it.
The MOE-K2. Will be buying one.

Well, what my PD friends do is adjust their CTR stock and lock it in before doing work.

Or...just set the length before your shift?
When I was in the Marines I never understood the guys who were constantly fiddling with their stock length. What for? I can understand every now and then when the armor level changes. But everyday wearing more or less the same stuff?
The fixed carbine length stock only seems relevant in ban states to me...which could be all of us one day, I suppose.

With that attitude you could be correct.

Oh geez. My forum post is going to directly effect the passage of legislation :rolleyes:

That grip feels nice. Best AK grip I've handled yet. I'm getting that and the Vltor AK tube that will let me run my SOPMODs.

That MOE AK grip is going to be a big seller. Finally US Palm has some competition in this realm.

I am really looking forward to the fixed carbine stock since I live in a full retard state. I would love to see a variant of this could accept an A5 buffer though.
I think the K2 grip also has promise. I am currently using an Umbrella grip that I stippled, but I have always liked the feel of the MOE and MIA grips.

Is it bad that the only thing that I'm really excited about is the iPhone 5 cases? Yeah that's probably bad...:ph34r:

I could see them overtaking the AK mag market with a little bit of effort

With everything going on, I doubt they'll have an accurate estimate, but maybe one of the guys like Grant that does business with them can get an idea.
The M3 20's definitely sound good.
The 10rd G3 mags look interesting. For a Canadian. Wonder how far they protrude from the magwell if at all?

I would be really happy to just get a few more, say 8 to 10, of those 20 rd 7.62 mags. After I get those mags I will just want something else.

I can't say I'm too proud of Magpul for catering to these new laws with the fixed stock and 10 rnd magazine. I suppose they have to make a buck.
Say what?
"Fail" couldn't even begin to describe that post.
I can't say I'm too proud of Magpul for catering to these new laws with the fixed stock and 10 rnd magazine. I suppose they have to make a buck. I'll admit, the 25 rnd .308 mag is pretty sweet. For you guys saying the fixed stock is cool, you do realize an adjustable stock can be a fixed stock if you never adjust it.... ;)
I wonder if the new laws will regulate the level of effectiveness of the iphone cases as well. :rolleyes:
Clueless. 12yr old much?

I went away/deleted because you didn't like it. No need to further antagonize.
The ak grip may interest me in the future.
What would really grab my attention and complete me stepping over into the dark side ( AK platform) would be a magpul AK mag.

Not antagonizing, instructing. Has nothing to do with me not "liking" anything.
Criticizing one of the largest manufacturers of collapsible stocks and 30 round magazines in the world, because they also make a fixed stock and 10 round mags for their customers that either desire or require them, was moronic.

Something tells me you'll get over it. I was simply implying that I would have liked to have seen Magpul, as one of the largest manufacturers of collapsible stocks and 30 round magazines in the world, do a little more to fight this hysteria. Instead, releasing these products so quickly might be taken the wrong, it could be seen as the largest manufacturer beginning to concede. That's just my interpretation. Perhaps you didn't like the way I presented it. I apologize, ive been up all night. But still, I was smart enough to recognize when my opinion was not wanted and I withdrew. I don't see why you continue to insult something that is no longer there.
I am sure it has been a long time coming for those particular products and has nothing to do with the latest hysteria.
I for one am very excited to see their line continue to expand, in all directions.

We've been working on both of those products for over a year. We actually considered delaying the release to avoid any weird perceptions of catering to the ban. We've received a lot of interest in the fixed carbine stock for SPR uses...lightweight and rigid. The 10 was intended as a hunting/ban state/shooting off your pack product. I like the little bugger. Both are products folks have been asking for since...well, a long time ago, and the current craziness certainly had nothing to do with them.
Now, if next month we announce a 7-rounder...but don't hold your breath.

Completely understand. I didn't intend to start this off topic discussion, that's why I deleted my comment. Thanks for your response.

The M3 20's definitely sound good.
In 5.56, the M3 20's are shipping, the 10's will now be late Feb or Mar. We are targeting April, May, and June for the 3 variants of the LR/SR M3's.
As a departure from previous practice, we haven't announced anything that we are not already locked and cutting molds for, so barring any craziness, there shouldn't be a long wait.

THANK YOU for the update on the M3 LR/SR mags. This is uncanny to release dates. I made sure to quote you in case you deleted your thread. :p
Loving the M3 20s & Windowed 30s BTW - my new favorite mags.
The M3 on paper looks cool. The M3 in-use is just freaking awesome. So much stiffer feeling, drops free easier, floorplate rocks. The 20, with it's full length spring has insane spring tension (in a good way.) Good stuff. Cannot wait for the new LR stuff.

FWIW, last year Drake said early summer 2012 for the PMAG M3, but they didn't end up coming until the end of the year.
However, I believe they had to redesign the floor plate, which would make sense for the delay.
Can someone explain to me the Fixed Carbine vs MOE Rifle stock...
Is it just that the carbine is just shorter and slips over the carbine RE? Because aside from length of pull, aren't the rifle parts (buffer and spring) just far more desired if you absolutely must have a fixed stock? Seems like an A1 length fixed would be more ideal than a Fixed Carbine, but just my opinion I guess.

Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it looks like a MOE stock without the adjustment lever. You slip it on your receiver extension, and pin it in place where you want it. That may be all the way in, out or somewhere in between.
Seems like a good idea for ban states.
The 10 was intended as a hunting/ban state/shooting off your pack product.
Will we see a 5 round block for the new 10 or 20 like there is for the old 20 round mags?

Ahhhh.... Ok, sort of makes sense..... Back to my original point though, if you were stuck with a fixed stock... why wouldn't you run the rifle spring and buffer? Barring expections for very short arms I guess, it seems like the more functional approach to use the A1 or A2 parts, or whatever length the MOE Rifle stock is.

Thanks Duane, really looking forward to the 20 and 25 rnd M3's in 7.62. I'm going to want a couple of the 10's as well.
Will the M3's basically have the same over-insertion catch as the "Colt Spec" LR's?

In the case of my Colt 901, I'm not sure there is a rifle spring and buffer, but regardless, seems to me to be an easy way to switch between a fixed stock and collapsible without changing any other parts.
Will the M3's basically have the same over-insertion catch as the "Colt Spec" LR's?
Due to the increase in available contact area in the .308 mag well, the LR/SR GEN M3 mags will have a very slightly pronounced top rib on the rear spine that gets us what the 5.56 M3 tab does without protruding noticeably.
25rd M3 LR mag -- yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I said at SHOT, I'll be happy to shoot a bunch for validation :D
Anybody know the length on the MOE Fixed Carbine stock?

So should Magpul turn their back on those in ban states? I am glad they are doing what they can to support these folks with products they can use.

Not to mention that there's uses for 10 rounders and fixed stocks in states where there's no restrictions.
Some folks just like their Reynolds caps.

I really like the QD sling point, finally an add-on QD sling point that doesn't stick 1/2" off the side of a rail BEFORE you even attach the QD. Nice for us folks that choose a rail w/o built in sling points.
The 10rnd mag is nice to see, one thing I'm NOT happy about is the changes to the 20rnd 5.56 mags, here in ohio 30 round mags are fine but I prefer the 20's, I have never even heard of a problem with them. I see no reason why they need to be curved now. Way back when they (not talking magpul, I'm talkin mr stoner, when the AR platform first came out) made the 30 round mag they curved it to make it feed as well as the 20's that were straight, why now curve the pmag 20? Seems like a step backwards to me.
First post btw.

The 20's never had an anti tilt follower and they had more problems with failing to lock back the bolt on a lot of rifles. I am sure these new ones are better.
Pat
I am sure these new ones are better.
Pat
They are way better. They are basically a short M3 30. Same everything - follower, spring, feedlips, baseplate etc. I'm a fan.
Any word on when the gray furniture will actually be available?
Have a build for my son waiting for that to come out (to compliment the about to be complete pink furniture build for his sister!)... It'd be nice to finish the build by his birthday in April.
CTR stock, MOE grip and mid-length handguard. PMags in that color would be cool too.
The new Magpul QD rail sling mount looks like a clone of the Wilson combat 10/2 mount. Maybe the Magpul is non rotational, the Wilson is not.

The QD RSA is indeed anti-rotation. It doesn't hard fix the placement of the QD, but allows about 30 degrees or so of rotation.
12.375" LOP for fixed carbine.

I'm happy to see the new line of magpul products. All have lots of promise. I'm really digging the AK grip. Like others have said, and myself for a few years..... Magpul needs to produce AK Pmags. I converted a hungarian AMD-65 over to a MOE stock and MOE+ grip and it felt like sex.... well almost anyways. :)

Gray should be filtering into the line soon...it's been a little crazy, so the color expansion has been delayed a bit. Expect the STR and CTR first.

I'm definitely in for a bunch of 10 rounder 5.56 and 7.62 mags. I'm PCSing from Montana to California in a few weeks, the timing on the release of these things couldn't have been much better.
No to mention one of the new bill introduced in Cali senate would ban 30 round mags blocked to 10 just because they look like they hold more than 10.
The new iPhone bump case is looking pretty interesting to me. I like a case that's thin since I carry my phone in my pocket, but so far I've not been satisfied with the durability of the cases I've tried so far. The bump case looks like its gonna solve that problem for me.
I'm really digging the AK grip. Like others have said, and myself for a few years..... Magpul needs to produce AK Pmags.
Quoted for truth. The AK-74 magazine market is in serious need of quality magazine option at an affordable price. Surplus mags are hard to find and expensive when you do find them and while the U.S. made options are cheap they don't hold a candle to the quality of surplus mags. Magpul could probably dominate that entire market with a 5.45 Pmag.

Thanks! Looking forward to this build...
Is the MS4 sling QD rotation limited?
Yes. Almost no rotation allowed on the d-ring interface. The QD RSA is anti-rotation, too.
Pink XTMs and handstop kit coming? Any word on the non-black M3s on both 30 and 20s?
