Why won't Magpul make different colored Pmags?

Actually, I really like the MCT color, I just wish MCT furniture was available.

Glad I bought a dozen or so OD Green ones and ranger plates when I did.

I hear ya..I have a dozen or more OD green mags to match the stuff on my one rifle then I bought some OD Lancers as well. Going forward i will just break out the Krylon as it holds up on the USGI mags i have.

Why not? Anybody know?

What Reptilia said, and...

Because a massive number of people have ideas about what manufacturers should offer, and a much smaller number actually put money on the counter when it's available.

Yeah I'm findin' the black ones locally very cheap, 8 or 9 bucks each.

I paint 'em and number 'em all anyway.

Seems like they used to make more colors. There was an orange one, and I think there was an Olive Drab one as well. I have one colored Pmag; I think they called it Foliage Green. think all you can get now is black and desert flat dark earth.

Magpul could make the things in any color: Orange, Purple, you name it.

In addition to being "cool," it would serve a purpose. You could load different loads into different colors.

There is something known as "spray paint".

But that hurts resale when you:

(1) can't make rent
(2) can't pay for car repairs
(3) the wife / GF makes you sell $hit because you suck at budgeting
(4) change your AR stuff flavor of the month style to keep up with the cool kids.

People who shoot don't care.

Don't remember where I heard it first, but I was told about the different colors affecting strength more than a few times. What I have certainly noticed is that all of the catastrophic PMAG failures I have seen were with colored ones, usually the original tan color.

3ACR Scout's post is chocked full of knowledge bombs.

But I ponder as to how much sales figures factor into keeping a particular color running or not. From a cost effective viewpoint standardization makes since and once the Gen M3 MCT mags were adopted by US MIL it's kind of a no-brainer. I assume the vast majority of LE customers opt for black. Several years ago the writing was on the wall for colors like FG, especially once the Army ditched ACU. Several online vendors dumped FG products to include PMAGs at ridiculously low prices. I always pick up mags when I find them $10 or under, I've never purchased mags to color coordinate with a firearm (kind of gay if you ask me).

I have OEM PMAGs in Orange (both windowed and non) Blue, OD, FG, FDE, Sand, Black, and now MCT.

So WWII olive drab is going out of fashion now?! Say it ain’t so.
