Re: SureFire magazine pic, review to follow shortly.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Oddball-Six</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Back to the question above.
1) What will these cost.
Quickly followed by:
2) If the military does a contingency no-bid production order on them or something crazy, will there still be supply for the civilian market?
And i guess one of the other things you could test for, if surefire cared to:
Put the mag in "compromised" shooting positions. Rest the AR on the mag with the mag sitting on concrete or something similarly hard. Fire the full mag. Does it cause a jam?
On its side? With pressure either forward or back on the bottom end of the mag?
In short, is this thing tested for rock solid reliability beyond square ranges and ideal shooting conditions?
If the answer to all this is yes, then i would posit that it could make for a nice video that SF could use to demonstrate to the world that we need to buy this.
As it stands now, I like the concept, and I will buy a few --AFTER some of the folks on here more experienced (and wealthier) than I have put it through its paces to demonstrate the above. </div></div>
1. $129 for the 60rnd mag $179 for the 100rnd magazine.
2. We can make a lot of these a month and availability shouldn't be a huge issue. Now if we got a huge order with a very limited time window that is something different but the military is going to want to do extensive testing on these before they would commit to buying a huge amount of them.
3. Yes we have tested this magazine on something other than a lead sled with no weight on the mag. I was shooting mine yesterday and today from the standing kneeling, kneeling with the magazine resting on my leg, magazine prone in the dirt and on rocks, magazine prone off the bench and we have been testing them for months in shooting courses as well as on ranges with military units on their full auto lowers.
