    p-mags

    I had been busy setting up aluminum GI mags with magpul stuff when I discovered the P-mag. I now use nothing else. I got three when I was in Vegas a few months back at "the gun store". They asked me for ID. That was a first. After showing my Utah DL, they sold me the mags explaining that a lot of Califonians had been in trying to buy the mags. Im trying to understand why that matters? Its legal to own the mags in Nevada. If someone from Cal buys them and takes them home, thats not the gun stores problem.........I have never been ID'd here at home buying magazines.
    A big guy at the local gun store here likes to take the P-mags and jump up and down on them. Very funny to watch, but a good demonstration of how well built the things are. I now own something like 20. A nice start.

    I've been asked several times what type of feedback we are looking for when testing the magazines, so I thought I would add it here. If anyone thinks there is something else worth including, let me know. Remember, this is for Military application.

    It's sad how folks will go the extra mile to support chicken shit laws.

    Shit! I should open a Magpul outlet store in Yuma, AZ!

    (reminds me of one carbean instructor who said we should line up on the Cali boarder and just fire are rifles into CA!)

    5pins,

    Are you saying your PMAG pictured above cracked with normal use or were you doing something more involved with it?
