Odd, last night there was a Visa option.
AFAIK, the ASC magazines are not made by the same people that made CProducts, but rather by the company that won a lawsuit against CProducts (see TOS post linked above).
So, it seems there are two companies producing magazines that appear to be identical to the old CProducts; ASC, and the new C Products Defense (sold by LJCWholesaleStore).
As of 0800 on Monday they are sold out. I placed an order at 1800 Sunday and they had over 1500 orders since that time and prior to 0800.
This is EXACTLY what I was worried about. The market is going to continue to be flooded with JUNK by scumbags like Cprod who are cashing in on desparation.
I don't like throwing money away but I took a chance on 5 of them. I placed an order last night but since the inventory wasn't in real time I'm going to assume its a crap shoot whether or not I'll get them.
For anyone wondering, they are charging credit cards in advance, way before the item ships. Just tried it myself. Plus, we do not even know if they'll ship it all. I'm good with that -- THANKS BUT NO THANKS :suicide:
If they are the only game in town for those who failed to plan accordingly, go for it. I personally can't recommend them due to my extremely crappy experience with them, which proved them to be completely unreliable. Cprods have a long history of selling nonfunctional mags. They didn't listen to their customers, were dismissive, and failed to improve the mag in a timely manner. They've had years to correct those issue. Call it denial, call it what ever. If one of you guys who've had a positive experience and gave them a proper vetting and can do a comparative review, it may sway some of the nonbelievers into trying them again. I won't patronize a company who didn't listen to their customers years ago and now all of a sudden, by mere circumstance, their mags are the only ones available due to an impending AWB.
i took a chance on one of thier steel 20 rounders and i hate it. it runs just fine but the spring is too strong or something because it shoots the last round out of the mag instead of the bolt stripping it out. so the follower trips the bolt hold and there is a live round floating in my chamber and you have to turn the rifle to the side to let it drop out. or drop the mag and the round falls out. hard to explain since that is the only mag i have ever had that problem with and i dont know if that is common to them or other manufactures, but that one stays home when i go to the range. im thinking about getting a new spring and trying that out since it seems like a good sturdy mag with a good finish. maybe its the feed lips but it only happens with one round left in the mag.
now that i think about it more, i think i can only get 17 rounds in that 20 rounder.
No thanks. The ones I bought in the past had a 40% failure rate.
