Order placed on December 24, order number 10226. Hoping for some free ones!
Of all the things in life I have lost, I miss my mind the most.
Anyone read about the issues with these mags? Plenty of stuff on other ar15.com cough cough forums...
Yeah and it over 2 years old......Originally Posted by Zargon
But they haven't made mags since though have they? I want to know if this is old stock, part of the dead stock that is being sold off. I don't think MSAR has made any new AR mags since the last debacle, but I want to check before I buy.
I seem MSAR is under new ownership as of this summer... hopefully this is newly produced stuff, going to order a bunch. Pretty much the only game in town right now.

From my 6 mags (5 amber, 1 black)...the 5 amber are 7/09 and the black is 4/09. My black one does not drop free but all the amber do. I use the amber for 300BLK and all function fine (though the first round out of the mag is stiff...don't ride the bolt...let 'er fly!). As well, the black functions fine also...just doesn't drop free as previously said. They all lock back the bolt when empty. I have seen the issues as mentioned on the other forum but you'll also notice that a bunch of guys were posting that they had no issues at all.

Okay so they are likely old stock/dead stock then. I always let the bolt fly, I assumed that is what you are supposed to doI am going to grab a bunch of the amber. I'm not sure if I like how they look or not, but the wife said they were cool, and I am putting together a couple of pink AR's for her. I spoke with Zombies/Dlask, and they said they you can return/replace any that have issues, but that they haven't seen any issues with the amber ones. With the other colours, some issues have shown up.
As I said before, this seems to be the only game in town right now, unless you want million dollar PMAGS off the EE (I jest, but just wait a few weeks, and it might be truth).
As promised, a pic with my mags. Thanks Richard!
I hope this deal is still going! If so I'll post as soon as I get mone in.
Here's my rifle with my 6th MSAR magazine.
I bought a couple of the Thermold mags for a comparison - these are nicer.
I've dealt with them a couple of times and had great service. Thanks Dlask!

My turn.
Thanks Joe!
I wanted mostly black ones, but I actually prefer the amber.
They sound harder, and fit just a little beter. (looser)
They don't drop free, but fit snug, so a postive tug is needed.
The base fits the hand well, and provides a good purchase.
Liking them.
