It just keeps backing up. Very disappointing. I'll probably go Toth now.

MP lost the bubble. I'm certain they must be improving it to meet standards and retooling production but this sets a new standard for hype/no delivery. And I was excited.

MidwayUSA still has "Date expected in stock: 10/06/2015". (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/382649/magpul-pmag-30-ak-akm-gen-m3-magazine-ak-47-762x39mm-30-round-polymer-black?cm_vc=wishList)
I'm not holding my breath.

Yep, just finishing up testing. Texturing and building soon. Getting the front spine as strong as we wanted it without just making it too thick and including a post-molding machining op so it fit in the gun like the Bulgarians do was the last hold up. It's done, it does everything we wanted, I'm stoked, and they'll be shipping next month, which is why we teased it with the Zhukov Yugo release.

With the15 round Glock magazine, the drum, and the Gen M3 AK all shipping next month, plus the delivery date for the AUG mag fast approaching, our magazine testing assets have been taxed, but it's all coming together.

AUG? Does that mean AK-74 and HK33 mags will be Q1 2016 with MP5 mags Q2 or Q3 2016?

I can say that we are always working on new magazines. You'll see more fitments at SHOT, then more at NRA, then....

Will we see the AK mags in the new Sand polymer? I am really wanting some Plum mags without having to break the bank on the hard to find and uber expensive ((10)) mags.

I don't feel I'm spilling any kind of secret by confirming that 74 mags are in the pipeline right now, and we intend to bring sand out in the AK line. The aforementioned workload for testing is the only delay there. Now that we're 100% across the board in the 5.56 and 7.62 AR mags, the SL furniture and the AK mags are coming next for Sand.

Outstanding. Thanks for the info.

Or SAND material so you can just dye it with Rit.

Please make mags for the SIG/SwissArms 550/551/552/553.
