Any idea when?

Don't ask.

Let me save them some time: "We will not release specific dates for Magpul products to alleviate the inevitable internet whining when said product does not come out when we said it would" (or something to that effect)

Oh I know. In the future, if you get ANYONE wanting to know why a specific part is delayed or not being made, just send them to me for clarification. ;)

That's way too nice. If it gets changes there will be several references to sandy mangina's.

I'm patiently waiting on these also. I am also curious to know if the GRILLZ line will be produced as well?:D

I'm going to laugh my ass off when the new CHROME LINED Pmags come out. All the panic tards that bought 300 of the old version are going to be pissing and moaning!

Ha ha! LOSERS!:p

I like the concept of the MOE for the simple reason of being able to add rails in some locations. It will be nice to have an inexpensive set of handguards that I can add a light to ithout having to drill a stock set and/or upgrade to a complete rail system.

You're right - these will be perfect for duplicating your VFG/light layout on a spare/.22 conv./loaner/etc. rifle with less investment. Hmm....

Yep! I'm thinking the same thing. I just want to add a light to one of my AR's. Don't need a rail HG for that.

Don't really need to change the HG's at all...I just think the MOE HG's look better. ;)

I am also waiting for the MOE Handguards and ACS STocks to come out. Called Magpul yesterday and the nice lady said that it looks like possibly a few more months. So I will twiddle my thumbs and keep a close eye on them.Already have a MIAD OD, and love it, can't wait for the other items to get here.

You will be able to buy all of those old, obsolete PMAGs cheap!!11!

I feel the same way, I got most of the other Magpul stuff I need already, and I have plenty of Pmags, but I still say keep cranking out the item that will be banned first, the Pmags. You can sell all the CTRs and UBRs you want later for all the panic purchases made now that will be "pre-ban" anyway. Just my opinion, and you can feel free to tell me where to stick it. I love everything you guys make, and while I want a set of your BUIS, I can wait if it means more Pmags.

Stop calling them! They need to be making PMags, not answering the damn phone! :D

Soon, gents...I promise. It's 3:24 a.m. on a Sunday morning, I have 6 empty Red Bull cans on the table beside me, and bedtime is nowhere in sight. We're working hard to get this stuff out, trust me. ;)

Just bring a set to SHOT and look for the guy in the yellow visor to hand them off to. ;)

Oh, and they better be midlength! :p

Thanks very much, Nick. We do apprecviate all the hard work you folks are doing. I just hope you are an hourly employee, and Drake pays overtime. ;)

I will happily ship you a case of Red Bull, if it will help the cause. :D

nick, you should try Super Pump 250. absolute domination of everything. if everybody at magpull was using super pump 250 we would all be drowning in p mags. super pump 250 will make red bull look like a toy energy drink! :D

That would explain 90% of the behavior at my alma mater (still trying to figure out the other 10% . . . might be side effects from the blood in the Taurine system). Though, I still think some great inspiration comes during the 3AM hallucinations. :eek:

Nick spilled the beans on their new tactical energy supplement drink!

LOL - thanks for the laugh, kind sir. That was hilarious. :D

Round two... :o

Hmmmmm..... I think that anything that might interrupt the supply of Magpul goodies would lead to rampaging mobs.......

Of course, you guys do have the capacity to hold off mobs! :p

Good grief, we should both be asleep.

The MOE HG looks nice, I wonder how tight it fits there. The one pet peeve of mine is HG that slightly twist since it's not tight fitting.
