New Magpul magazine - TMAG

[ViniVidivici]

Well that's kinda cool looking, but I don't see the point.

Lance's already got ya covered.

I don't like these kind of mags anyway, at most I'd use 2 or 3 as training mags, my rifles aren't painted and subdued just so I can walk around with shiny gold ammo showing through down below...

I love my gen 2 & (less so) gen 3 PMAGS, and when you can get gen 2 30's for 10 bucks or less all day, that price point is very unattractive.

Their market research must show their losing share to Lancer in this regard.

Maybe if they could clip together like G36 mags they'd seem cooler......naw, then they'd be annoying to get in and out of pouches...

Yesterday was Magpuls 25th anniversary introducing the Pmag. I am guessing said new mag is legit.

We need another lube thread.

Froglube is still running solidly for me!

Cool. Don't need more mags, but that's never stopped me from buying them before. And P320 mags that aren't $50? Absofragginglutely.

I got 30 rounders I put in the garage 10 years ago I haven't even thought about digging out. But I'll sometimes buy a one off just for reference, and to remember what buying a mag feels like.

That video was Magpul testing, the actual 2015 Army test the PMAG won was 10 polymer commercial magazines and 2 GI aluminum mags with different followers and why would Lancer not be in the test? To protect the different companies the Army identified the mags by using random letters A-L, Magpul was F and the clear winner and out performed the EPM but the Army decided the EPM is good enough so are still issuing them. The USMC approved the EPM for training but only the PMAG for combat, SOCOM and Air Force went PMAG.

I do remember that. I don't remember what the failures were exactly among the other brands, but I seem to recall that the Magpul M3s had the least (if not any) FTF, and as I further recall, with M855A1 ammo. Which can be a bit problematic with some mags.

The Army SMU uses Lancers & PMAG’s (depending on individual preference). If they are being used downrange it means they were extensively tested for reliability, durability, and functionality in all types of weather conditions etc. They have a squadron just for that purpose. So if they’re using them they are good to go.

I sorta wish they would, I really like my SIG mags. They are cool for storage and range use. As individual mags, they don't pack any worse than AUG mags which are dimensionally larger than most AR mags.

Nothing about these makes me want to spend $24 on them.

Looks like I'll be sticking to milspec mags as well. Although my most recent purchases have been Lancers that seem to work very well.

Must say something about me that I usually don't say yes to all the "popular" crap like Pmags and gLoCk's.

I'm typing this looking at over 150 AR15 mags and I count a total of 8 AR15 Pmags. Most of mine are NMHTG / Okay AL - HK polymer and C-Products stainless. I have another hundred Brownells milspec sitting in an ammo can in their original packaging, just in case.

This is only one section of my allocated Mag storage space.

Holy OCD I just throw mine in a bucket lol
