The MagPod

[Thompson]

This has been out for a little while now (from our very own Zero7). I was curious if anyone knows when the release date might be and the MSRP. I'm definitely interested in taking a look at one.

http://zero7one.com/magpod/

[UWone77]

They keep saying mid-October.

[WHSmithIV]

Interesting. I'll buy one.

[Thompson]

UW - has the MSRP been released yet?

[Multitaskertools]

ETA is end of October (waiting on the TPU material for the base pad); street price is $20 for a 3-pack, will initially be sold via Multitasker dealers

[Thompson]

Wow - great price point. Can't wait to get my hands on a set.

Shane, nice to see you back on the board.

"Though there has been some heartburn over MagPod’s release date being pushed back, I think that the difference in the forward pad should be worth the wait. Manufacturers can update, modify, and change a product 1,000 times after it is released and customers have complained on why they didn’t like a product or why they will never buy from that company again. That same manufacturer only gets one chance to release its product to the world and to ensure it is right before it goes out is admirable. We would have a hell of a lot less recalls and warranty problems if more companies took this stance."

Extremely well said!! That should be every companies motto...

[voodoo_man]

hmmmm sort of want?

CS - where'd you pick that up at? Been hunting the dealers' websites.

... yeah ... workin my way up to "killer pics" status. ... until then, back to the dark corner of the room; hurry up and wait I guess.

Anyways last I heard from MagPod, they said that initial units were slowing starting to trickle down to dealers.


Boba Fett PMAG looks good.
I'm sorry did I miss something? ... at least to me, that doesn't look like him ...

That's the logo on Boba Fett's shoulder spray painted on the PMAG.

What you did not know the Mandalorian symbol? That will cost you 10 Tacticool Points!

I thought it was nerd points? How about a Mandalorian skull with a Navy Seal Beard, would it be worth both tacticool and nerd points?

Killer photo CS, absolutely love it! Nerd trivia, did you photographers know that the light sabers are actually Graflex flash gun handles off of old cameras?

[CarbonScoring]

The lightsaber in my photo is an original Graflex 3-cell flash. In a previous life my hobby was building and collecting movie prop replicas.

I'll have to get some photos of my other ones.

Oh - I see now haha.

So jealous. I collect on a lower scale.. Star Wars Legos ( Original Trilogy only)

[GOST]

Rumor has it a trailer for The Force Awakens will be released within a month.

I find the more expensive sets are really the only one worth collecting, especially the ones geared to ... really adults!

Oh but you have never purchased the collector series..none of them are below $200 and the 4' Star Destroyer is over $350. The light saber is cool and its in the list. Currently working on the Stormtrooper uniform. Bobafett's helmet is on the list as well.

But Legos collector sets are not cheap by any means. I have put rifle parts on hold to pick up collector releases.

[Ride4frnt]

In for the Star Wars thread if I can find all my old stuff. I had a lot of it when it was re released in 1997. I have the entire set of Star Wars PEZ dispensers in the basement packed away somewhere. That was my hobby, collecting PEZ dispensers.

Well, the little tabs on my FSP adjustment tool on my Multitasker 3 broke off, and so Shane sent me a replacement (all metal instead of the plastic one it originally came with)

Broken one:

The SCAR.

Me too. Thanks A LOT

You should definitely get a MagPod. I was really impressed with the functionality of it. Really good alternative to a bipod, if you don't want to use a bipod or deal with the bulk.

Pretty much the reason why I got it; so I can shoot at a bench with.

Got my 3 pack today. only took one out and played with it, excited to play with them at the range..

[MonkeyBomb]

I got a care package from WEVO and it had a MagPod in it. I have seen these and never thought it was anything I would use. I slapped it on a mag and tried it with some dryfire. These things definitely have some merit. I may pick up a pack.

Glad you liked it. So far, for zero'ing rifles, I find them pretty darn useful.

I agree. When I first saw pictures of them I wasn't interested. Once I got them however, I found them to be really useful when zeroing. I haven't gotten outside yet to try them when shooting prone yet, but I'm sure they'll be a benefit in that situation too.
