I see no sign that this will be the start of their demise, even if they're going more corporate as you put it. Personally, I love the fact Magpul keeps expanding their offerings into other platforms vs more colors.
Frankly, offering them in only black makes me feel like they're going back to their Core mission, which is making gear. Who cares if your magazine doesn't match your furniture?

I'm with UW on this. Magpul is one of the most innovative companies out there. In recent years besides new AR furniture and Pmags we've gotten the Mbus Pros, inexpensive Glock mags and a fantastic armorers wrench.
Plus they were the most visible corporate 2A supporter in the last gun control campaign. The PR over loudly moving out of Colorado and devoting all Pmag production to beat the state deadline was priceless and proved costly for lefty politicians.They have earned their large, loyal customer base.“ When I comes to modern politics, I think the inverse of Hanlon's Razor applies...In other words, "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice." - Kerplode

Because Tee shirts are so mission critical.
Just musing, what with it being well past late 2014, i think something changed their mind. I certainly don't hold success against anybody. Is anybody talking about the colored polymer formulas being weaker than black? That doesn't matter either.Last edited by Joelski; 1 January 2017 at 16:46.

When the Gen 3 mags were released (is that the generation we are in right now?) Magpul was very up front regarding revised formula and how dyes effected the material strength. I think thats why you didn't hear a lot of people talking about it.
I think its very telling that Magpul only released black and later sand colored magazines. They made the choice to deliver a robust product to the consumer and sacrifice their potential profits.
I agree with the statements above. Just because they are expanding their product line doesn't mean that Magpul has sold out or gone corporate. They continue to refine there old designs and produce new high quality products at reasonable price points. Why should a company not want to expand and be profitable?

It sounds like MCT is a DoD requirement for future acquisitions. Now that the military is getting everything in poop color, I figure the next major conflict will be someplace either in the jungle or in the snow.
On the other issue, if you have customers who want to pay you to wear advertising for your business on their body in public then you'd be a pretty poor businessman if you didn't oblige them. I pretty much refuse to wear brand / logo wear unless the item was comp'd or is a brand I've worked for (or represents a souvenir from a cool trip - I admit, I do have and wear a T-shirt from the Guinness factory in Dublin).

To my understanding, no Masada had far more to do with being too small of a company than too large. They just didn't have the resources to produce a full rifle at the time.
Dying mags is stone simple and effective as well (on topic and all).

Curious to see if they will shift priority of production to Mil contracts (ie: USMC).
Thought, kind of doubt the Army will switch to PMAGs as standard issue.
I don't know about you, but I thought that was a pretty cheesy/lame attempt at trying to recreate the theme/tone of the War Department videos.

I'll be attempting a fakelite and a plum mag die from sand mags when I get my Saiga back.
