Magpul - The Precision Hunter

[ctcs]

from what i gather from magpul's facebook post, it's a 308 pmag ac, aics compatible mag, not a stanag for your ar.

It would be cool if it was standard m5 inletted so you could install a stanag compatible ptg bottom metal.

yes!

Wonder if they'll make higher capacity mags? A 10 round might be nice. I could see doing up a scout style rifle with this stock system.

Indeed, 10rnd mags would be awesome! I can't believe Magpul waited this long to bring out AICS mags. Would have been cool if it was modular enough to go with either AICS or their current 7.62 PMAGS. I'll take a few 6rnd polymer AICS mags. Guess I won't be ordering those MDT mags anytime soon now.

7.62 PMag would be 5 rounds here in Canada

I am not interested by the archangel, and was about to order a cadex chassis for my blueprinted 700 aac-sd, but this could make me change my mind.
The price is way lower than the chassis, but I'll wait for reviews on it to see if it would be suitable for a long range precision target rifle or if it's going to be a case of "you get what you pay for".

I was planning a build in a different chassis as well, I suspect Magpul will deliver another amazing product of that I'm sure. Having used and owned a lot of Magpul products I can't see them producing a cheap or flimsy stock system.

I too will wait and read some reviews before picking one up but I imagine these will be a solid product at a reasonable price point.

These are new AICS compatible PMAGs.

Magpul has a couple of accessories ready to go for the Hunter chassis. The first is the end-user installable Bolt Action Magazine Well that allows AICS magazine compatibility. Magpul says the installation is simple: remove the mag well spacer from the Hunter chassis (thirty seconds) and insert the hybrid steel and insert the polymer Bolt Action Magazine Well. Sounds easy. $69.95 MSRP.

Second, Magpul has the PMAG5 7.62 AC, an AICS compatible polymer magazine with anti-tilt follower. The magazine holds five rounds as packaged to comply with hunting regulations, but if you clip the follower stop on a pre-scored line, it becomes a 6-round magazine, useful in competitive shooting disciplines or for carrying an extra round where it’s legal. $34.95 MSRP.

$35 for a 6 round AICS? sounds like a waste of money

It would be pretty cool if this stock became available for Savage rifles. I guess I will have to wait and see.

I wouldn't be surprised if a few months down they release one for Savage. That's a huge market to tap into as well.

 

[outlawninja]

Will you offer the stock, BM and mag as a package?

will there be preorders?

 

[DominionOutdoors]

Very cool, looking forward to seeing these next week at SHOT.

 

[ctcs]

We may do preorders for this provided I can get a firm date for delivery.

im thinking that magpul and remington have some sort of agreement/partnership on this. im guessing it will be exclusive to remington for the first little while and remington will release a factory magpul 700. one can only speculate though

 

[RageStation]

Totally in for pre-orders. Been looking at a new 700 build. Make it match my shotguns/rifles would be nice! I'm such a Magpul sl*t. I should use all the magpul stickers I got to make a red/black digital pattern over the rifle safe haha.

Magpul did make shotty stocks for Mossberg, unless you're right and Remington has an exclusive agreement with these new stocks. Some questions the folks heading to SHOT will need to ask.

 

[frumpy]

I think some of the new remington ARs even come with some magpul goodies now.

ya i know, i got one for the mossberg as soon as they came out. if im not mistaken, magpul released the SGA for the first little while and the mossberg one followed shortly after. i think it would be a smart marketing maneuver by remington after their trigger fiasco.
