    From the linked Defense Review article

    "Estimated MSRP is $129 for the MAG5-60 60-rounder and $179 for the MAG5-100-rounder"

    If they are anywhere near that price then I think I'll have to pass.

    6 1/2 pounds for 100 rounds of 7.62 X 51! not to mention how high it would prop up the rifle, I don't know if you could fire the rifle in the prone position

    With 100 rounds of 308, it'll be the other guy who needs to go prone!

    Didn't say it's a perfect solution, but it would be better than a drum magazine. The thought of that many rounds of 7.62x51 in a battlerifle would have me doing the Snoopy Dance

    That rocks - can see lots of good from the 60 rounder - the 100 rounder will rock for the NFA crowd. Remember, those 100rnd drums were like $399 at the prime, now just over $100...and have your graphite ready.
    Glocks are functional tools and nothing else, hence they have no soul - Rob S.

    madness.

    i'll take some 60s, please.


    doesn't look like a stable device, though.. that's a LOT of fluctuating weight under what i assume is gonna have to be some kind of staggering spring/follower assembly. one regular follower obviously couldn't push through the bottle neck, nor do i think one spring/follower could even push all those rounds up..

    either way, seems like fail-in-a-can. probably work great for a while, most of the time.. but then just totally shit the bed and require disassembly to fix.

    total speculation, obviously. anybody seen the inside to confirm or deny?
