    Regardless, I think it's great that Tango Down is entering the market with something different than what is currently available. Innovation and competition are good for everyone who wants to keep prices low and quality high. I've said this before, but I'll say it again here: occasionally we all lose sight of the big picture when business enters the conversation. Regardless of who makes what, in the grand scheme of things we're all on the same team fighting for our rights, and trying to get the best gear we can into the hands of those who go into harms way on our behalf. We would all do well to remember that from time to time.

    I'll step off my soap box now in hopes that this thread can get back on topic. Congratulations to the team at Tango Down on being one step closer to bringing this magazine to market! From what I've read so far, it appears you did your homework and I'm sure this will be a very successful product. Cheers, fellas. I can't wait to give these a try!
    Nick,

    Thank you for being a gentlemen. I wish more people on the internet would follow this example.

    i have a problem with magpul's pmags...i don't have enough of 'em! i think TD and magpul both make great products - it's a win/win for us consumers to have different options and choices, and these two companies keep 'em coming.

    regarding the TD ARC mag, the lip and seal is there just to keep out sand and debris. maybe less of a concern with mags in a pouch, but more for the first mag being carried in the rifle. the follower is vented to allow dirt to be washed out when turned upside down.

    anyways, i'll keep this thread on topic by contributing a pic of some pro-production samples. as jeff mentioned in the thread on TOS, the molds have not been finalized and the body will have a non-glare blasted finish. the TD mag is pretty solid-feeling; no orlite or thermold feel with it.

    I just know I've seen and used these mags,
    And they are head and shoulders above the aluminum drek I was using before.
    They really are the evolution of the AR mag.

    This is great news for all, especially us consumers and end-users.

    Increase the supply of magazines! I wonder if there'll be a TD ARC shortage
    after they're released.... I've got USGI & PMAGS, but mostly converted 10 rounders because I live in a communist state. I'm anxious to try out the TD mags during out-of-state usage.

    this seems like a fair question to me so i'll post it---- i had a case rupture last week, with a new c-products ss 20-rd mag in and the floorplate blew off to unknown places,,,what will happen when that much gas goes down into a mag-well, and no floorplate to blow off and provide some relief??????

    Just a guess from a non expert/non industry guy, but I'm guessing the next part to blow off would be the magazine flying out from the magwell.

    A friend pointed this new mag to me a few weeks earlier. I have a couple of Pmags, but when these come out, I'm going to try to grab one to try.

    Since it's a modular mag I would think it would separate at the belt line and the bottom HALF of the mag would blow off.

    One of two things would happen, depending on the actual pressure. One, the entire mag would blow out, as the mag would split at the catch pocket. Or, the mag body would split somewhere in the upper half, dissipating the pressure. The material we use doesn't 'frag', it stays intact and would split under extreme pressure spikes.

    Sounds like it will be a hit. Do you guys have any plans to release the ones with magwell seal on the civilian market? I would like to have one with the seal as a primary mag and then mags without the seal for in mag pouches.
