That's funny, I got the notification (http://www.lanworldinc.com/) about them today too.

I kinda want one to see how it does with 5.45x39.

Costs a bit more than the Lancer mag, and the windowed PMAGs as well. I am sure that I will end up picking one of them up just to give them a try, but I can't see a whole lot of advantages to the current market offerings (unless they run 5.45 like they were made for it)...

Why would you pay more for something unproven than a proven product?? Why do you want a mag with a window in it? GH

I understand your argument regarding .223 and 300BLK. I guess the PMAG modification kinda solved the 5.45 magazine issue, but there's still mixed reviews of it not working for some shooters.

German (HERA) military loves the see thru magazines I guess. When they pull guard duty on US bases (in Germany), all their issued magazines had the translucent magazines. I think they were Lancers, not sure. It's just their style.
