ID this mag please

The mag body looks fatter in the middle, right below the mag-well.

Is this an actual magazine or something they stuffed in there for the photo?

If it's a mag, who makes it?

Tango Down ARC (http://tangodown.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=54&products_id=126)

Thanks, now I'd like to know what other companies offer 30-round polymer mags.

I've seen the Lancer, the PMAG, the Pro Mag and the Tapco version, does anyone else make a 30-round polymer mag?

ETA: That TangoDown mag looks like the body is two sections? Trippy.

[Optimus Prime]

Yup. The top and bottom are molded separate and then they chemically (I think) weld them together.

Troy's got a new one in the works too (http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/2010/01/20/troy-industries-new-polymer-magazine/).

Sweet... I've been meaning to pick a couple up to try out.

ETA: They only have black at the moment for those interested.

I've seen mixed reliability on them. That said, they are 100% drop free, and if it works with your rifle, they're a tough deal to beat.
