Any guess to average mag life compared to a CProducts SS?

Very interesting. Thanks for posting it!

ETA: Will Magpul be making the specialized floorplates for this mag?

Nope, but if you read their comments, these mags are not designed to be a replacement for hard use shooters.

I think the design is cool and the price is good. I imagine that they are using ISMI CS springs as well (which is a nice touch).

What reason would one have to choose these over USGI or CProducts SS mags?

On a side note, if Magpul were to make uppers the entire AR could be build of their parts. My useless $0.02

Well, lets say you wanted one in FDE or OD and didn't want to pay $28 for one coated by G&R.

I think they are a neat option, but I don't know that will fit everyones needs.

Are you certain about the spring? If that is an ISMI spring, they must get a better price than you for the springs. You charge $10.00 for a spring; you said they will charge $11.95 for spring and the rest of the magazine components, too.

I think they're cool, and the price is outstanding. At the worst, they're a nice range mag with good features, and at best, if they are up to typical Magpul quality, they'll be a lot more durable than people expect.

If anything, they will become the official magazine of gunporn photos everywhere.

OMG!

Being the mag whore that I am I guess I'll have to start hording these as well. So be it!

I can think of lots of uses for these.
