    Clear and Smoked PMAGS?

    Are these released yet? I like the idea of a see-through mag for home defense applications. It would allow the home owner to see his round count as well as alert other family members that the weapon has a loaded mag in the well.

    There are MIL and LEO, as well as some others who have been involved with T&E. As far as an official release date, I'm not sure. Magpul has made some good faith replies to people regarding production schedules, and has taken some heat and abuse from posters when those dates weren't met. I think a lot of people tend to forget that outside sources can have massive impact on manufacturing time lines.

    It would not shock me to see the smoked PMAGs released first, followed by the clear PMAGs.


    On a brighter note, the smoked PMAGs run very well in both semi and FA, and in standard and enhanced feedramp weapons.

    They're coming out with both clear and smoked pmags, word on the vine was that they weren't going to release the clear ones at all only the smoked ones but since you said they're making both hallelouya!!!!, btw which would you prefer the clear ones or smoked?

    Unless something has changed, both smoked and clear will be produced. I should point out that its possible that there has been a change, but given the option of both, I would prefer the smoked variants. Not for any super tactical reason, but simply because I like the aesthetics of them better.

    +1 I can't wait!

    The smoked version is appealing to me. It provides positive ID of the remaining rounds and at the same time tones down the visibility of the brass.

    You can add me to the "I can't wait for the smoked AND clear PMags" list because I can't wait!!!

    I like Pmags in general. At first I was a little hesitant on the smoke mags, being somewhat of a traditionalist, but they have quickly grown on me. The four I have have proven 100% reliable, with about 200 rounds through each in both non-ramped semi ARs and ramped M4 style guns with the happy switch.

    When will they stop making things that I have to have? I was successfully avoiding Magpul after purchasing my CTR. Love the stock, their other products were very tempting...but I've been successful in suppressing my urges. Then a friend lets me use his Pmags...I should have three here shortly. The UBR and Masada, I don't know what to say. The will is there, but the body is weak.

    I am really looking forward to these! At this rate, Magpul can be looking forward to a lot of my money. With smoke/clear PMAGs, AR lowers, UBR's, and of course, the Massada, it will be a tough 2008 on the wallet.

    Was it the smoked or clear that was made exclusively for the new Aug style rifle? I see now they won't limit them to simple inclusion with the Aug rifle but I thought I heard that's how they came about.

    How clear is the clear? Is it crystal clear like polycarbonate or clear like a butler creek 22 mag or milky white at the seams or what? I can't see liking them any more than smoke. Actually I picture myself disliking them if anything.

    I'll take either but to be honest, I'd like to see something in between the smoke and clear examples I've seen posted. The smoke looks like it'd be a little hard to see at night, and I'm not sure I'd want something 100% transparent.

    Yeah, I'm splitting hairs, but I look extremely forward to them none the less.

    We'll make some baby poop yellow for you, LOL. We have a large order for just that color, so it may fit your bill. These are in the final stages of testing now and the mold is done and now we are just testing the product coming out of the new mold. We added some logo marks and have to run some and check them to make sure nothing has changed from the print to the material.
    The smoke will be first then the clear then the uuhh yellowy stuff.
