Does anyone know of any place that has the red ones in stock?

If you are not sure what I am talking about -

All they have in stock is green and I can't seem to find the red ones anywhere.

Thanks.

What purpose do those serve? I could understand a high vis follower...but those I don't understand.

They allow you a way to identify specific magazines.

I have a limited supply of Hornady TAP that I keep for defense. I have other magazines that have other rounds in them.

I would like to install the red plates in the mags with the TAP in them so that I can easily differentiate between them and the others.

Not to oversimplify but wouldn't a piece of colored tape on the magazine do the same for you. Not saying its not a good idea, I personally like the idea. I know thats what we use at work since we are issued two different loads for the rifles.

Just a thought.

I thought of that and if wasn't for the fact that the lock plates are cheap and you don't have to worry about them coming off or anything I would use tape or something.

Thanks, but I went to the site and looked all over but could not find lock plates.

Do you have a link to where you found them?

Try giving Mike a call. If he doesn't have something, he can usually get it in.

They arent on his website, but if you call or email Mike, he'll be able to pull them off the wall and send them your way...

I don't see these on Magpul's site anymore.

Does anyone know if they are still available?
