    Thanks for ur suggestion, ive used 4 of them for a week and theyre dropping fine now. did you notice any difference with ur M PMAGS? i saw a FDE one in ur pic.
    Magpul had assured me they would RMA if they didnt wear in. knowing them they'd prolly just send me new ones. thsy have great customer service.

    i've always thought ur pics were catalog quality, in fact i'd rather look at ur pics than most of the catalogs i get. i'm sure you know as soon as you accept money for ur work ur considered a "pro" LOL seriously tho.. very nice work.

    I just checked a few of my new ones, and they drop free without any problems out of 8 lowers, one needed a wiggle to drop free, and one needed a little pull, then slid right out.


    I hope those aren't my catalog pictures that you aren't liking.....

    I have had 20 of the 30 round black Pmags on back order since the election. In checking with the vendor there are about 100 orders still ahead of me waiting to be filled. Do you think mine will be the new M style when I finally receive them? I sure hope so... it would make the waiting worth while.

    with all the changes on the new m-pmag is the body of the mag still just as durable as the original or has it as well been strenghtened in some way? I've read the some ppl were having trouble with the older pmags and some newer date codes splitting when they have been dropped through tac exercises, myself have not experienced these problems with the older ones, and I don't own any of the new m-pmags yet. Just wondering.

    I've seen PMAGs crack, but these were issues which would have dented the feedlips on USGI mags as well. Typically I've seen it when guys are doing speed reloads on concrete, and ripping out partially full mags.

    The new PMAGs are supposed to be a little stronger, and address the above, but lets not think that they are a creation that cant' be destroyed. They are highly durable, but mags are still a disposable item, or at least thats what they were intended to be.

    Just an FYI everyone. I received four Foliage green PMAGs I had on backorder at Brownell's today. I just ordered a few more too! They have the Foliage green ones listed as "In Stock" right now. These are the old version, not the new ones that are supposed to be out this year.

    A valid point, and perhaps the single most relevant reason why having a half-dozen mags in your kit bag isn't really insurance over the long haul. I'm more of the mind that 20(+) magazines -- USGI or otherwise -- per rifle is a pretty reasonable baseline.

    I hope the new design is more durable in the extreme cold (-40). That is the only time I know of P Mags failing.

    don't know if this is the right place to put it or if a seperate thread would be better but OberlandArms has released the info that they're going to produce the GMAG.
    a GMAG will be a windowed PMAG, 30 and 20 rounds, colors blk,fde and OD and made in Germany. Pricing will be around 20€.

    went public saturday during IWA.

    The GMag was reversed engineered from the PMag by Oberland. Due to ITAR we could not help them in development in anyway so we cannot vouch for materials or build quaility.

    The GMag will not be imported into the US but will be an option for those in Europe through Oberland.

    I've had some previous contact with Frank Satzinger (Oberland's owner) here in Germany, and will be watching for these.

    I was aware of some info, but was unaware of this being public, or of the complete story. Very interesting, and thankyou for sharing this.
