    The most interesting thing about this mag is that its 3d printed which a f*** you to magazine bans.

    Other than that I see no reason to choose it over pmags.

    A little start-up whose first product is a polymer mag. The next Magpul?

    Are they saying that the production mags are 3D printed or just the prototypes?

    I'm all for competition on the market and the American Entrepreneurial spirit but unless these things are going to be at a price point that will probably not cover the manufacturers costs I don't see them catching on.

    I never bothered to remember all the names but there are more than a few companies besides Mappul churning out polymer AR mags.

    Quite a few - Amend2, Hexmag, Mission First Tactical, Command Arms, Daniel Defense, TangoDown, Lancer, HERA Arms, various Korean flavors, etc.

    The prototypes. 3D printing is rarely used for production work. Way too slow structurally inferior to IM reinforced plastic.

    Prices range from $7.22 (Bud's Gun Shop) to $10.99 (Northwest Armory). Granted, could be loss leaders to build a market base, but the price ranges between Buds, C-T-D, Grab-a-Gun and Northwest Armory seems to indicate otherwise.

    Saw a couple YouTube reviews. They weren't very encouraging.

    So they arent even selling the 3d printing files? Lame

    I like the whole idea of decentralizing mag production. Makes a ban that much harder.
