BigChongus 765 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 All we can do is hope they're as cheap as AR PMAGS. Not counting on it though. I'd love to see them make 74 mags. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theorangeplanet 968 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 How about some 7.62x39 AR15 PMAGs? That's want I'm wanting.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'll probably buy a few just to support Magpul. I also would like to see AR mags in 7.62. Hopefully this is a sign that they are innovating in that direction. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sdustin 578 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you want a 7.62 ar the only choice is .300 blackout. It's actually flater shooting and factory subs are made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I have 7.62 AR mags, 7.62x51 Their called AR-10s, the original AR I'm all about it, no reason to worry about them, they make proper stuff out of proper polymers.

nlacy 692 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 that's nice but...I'd just be happy getting the AR mags I have on backorder... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm all about it, no reason to worry about them, they make proper stuff out of proper polymers. Yea but an AK is not an AR magwell gun that fully supports the magazine. Metal reinforcement is a must IMO of course, which is worth what was paid for it. I bet they will be nice mags no doubt, probably much better than the other 100% polymer mags available. But not for me, i'll stick to surplus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I concur about the lack of metal support...however, I will buy a couple to support them. Especially if they are moving out of Colorado. They have my business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you want a 7.62 ar the only choice is .300 blackout. It's actually flater shooting and factory subs are made. Nice try with the Blackout but it isn't' going to shoot flatter than 7.62 NATO. Even with no metal reinforcement, Magpul will stand behind their products. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Even with no metal reinforcement, Magpul will stand behind their products. Exactly. Magpul knows what they are doing, and I trust they have put in R&D time, it's not like they just got a vacuform for the hell of it and started banging out any old product and just said EHHHH it'll do... I'm not and haven't compared an AK and AR and said it would work because of that. How long have they been around? How long have AKs been around, if they wanted to simply rush a product and make money it would have been out years ago. They stand behind their products like Surefire does, without question usually.

Syndicate 812 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Also I question why you would essentially state I'll buy some even though I know they will be crap ne'er-do-well mentality, I know it's support for magpul, but why bother? Seriously? Makes 0 sense, knock something before it's even to market and then buy them anyway? Yes I'm an asshole, how about you skip buying them so people that will give the item a chance or use them can get them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do make 7.62x39 AR uppers, for some time now. The .300 was an evolution of the 5.56 to to punch it up without a huge inventory make over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoeAK 337 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Their website says they'll be making one with steel reinforcements. I look forward to both. "Due to the interface of rifle and magazine in the Kalashnikov platforms, and the leverage that critical points must withstand, we knew we couldn’t leave well-enough alone with the AK MOE before we even started designing. Also currently in development, and arriving on the heels of the AK MOE, is the next release in the PMAG AK lineup, which will be a 7.62x39 magazine with a little more “Bulgarian” in it, featuring solid steel reinforcements at lockup points. MSRP TBA" 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I agree that Magpul will not put an inferior product in the market. Their non metal AK mags will probably be just as durable as some metal ones out there. What they need to do is run their mags hard and do drop tests to demonstrate their reliability and strength and post it on their webpages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What they need to do is run their mags hard and do drop tests to demonstrate their reliability and strength and post it on their webpages. No metal reinforcement in AK mags, equals breakage (Youtube; 'Arsenal mag drop test'). The leverage points of an AK, because it is a non magwell firearm, are very stressful on magazines. Plastic locking lugs (I don't care what kind of plastic it is) and a full heavy mag of 7.62x39 is asking to be broken when its dropped. The Russians and Bulgarians didn't put metal reinforcement in their magazines because it was cost effective. It's not about an inferior product, it's just the way it is.

No, obviously not talking to you, so ya stop being butthurt yourself chief. The general consensus expressed and implied in not so many words, notice how I didn't quote anyone?

theorangeplanet 968 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you want a 7.62 ar the only choice is .300 blackout. It's actually flater shooting and factory subs are made. There are plenty of 7.62x39 AR15s... well, normally there are plenty. Point being they do exist and have for quite awhile. There's no real advantage to supersonic .300 blk loads compared to 7.62x39. .300 blk is nice because you only need to changed barrels; same bolt and mags from a 5.56 work for them. 7.62x39 AR15's run into problems with magazines feeding properly due to the curvature of the cartridge when stacked and the AR15's straight magazine well. 10 round mags work fine, and some 30 round mags with that funky hard-on curve work pretty well. For whatever reason no one makes a 20 round magazines in the size of a STANAG 30... Some folks have used 6.5 and 6.8 AR mags by swapping springs, followers, and bodies until they find a combination that works alright. Things would be made simpler if Magpul (or anyone) would make a 20 round polymer mag from the ground up..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You say there is no real advantage, then in the next paragraph state one of the big advantages: it feeds properly in an AR, and even uses the same mags. The other ones are a slight ballistic advantage, and less cartridge weight, and ability to reload using more commonly available components a variety of projectile choices including a broader range of weight, with cast loads costing for 4-8 cents a round. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
