Wow the 100rnd looks long and like you would catch them on everything , kinda fugley looking

 

[Deckard]

Fugly has nothing to do with dominating.

^^^Yeah, the 60 rnd would be my choice.

That will probably be the most expensive way the carry 50 rounds (100 if marked as a pistol mag) that I can think of

I was on top of this back in early Feb.

*IF* you can find someone who has these in stock (they are currently being bought up by the military) they will not sell it to you.

Here is Brownells stance on these mags dated Feb 18th, 2011:

Andy,

Thank you for contacting Brownells. Unfortunately neither of these items can be shipped outside of the United States due to DDTC restrictions, as the manufacturer (Surefire, LLC.) is not registered with the state. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you,

I am trying to find some to get through a US approved FFL dealer, but again, they are being snapped up by the US military.

The quad mag design is nothing new however. They had these things for the AK's long before Surefire came across them.

Still, I'd love to have some

I love the 60rd mag. The USMC needs to pickup a contract for bunch to use with their IAR's (HK 416)

US Army wants to have M16/M4 type SAW's and these high cap mags are the extension of that policy.

The alteranative are the snail shell looking drums. You want big bulky and heavy, these are your babies. Just read an article on a 150rds version. Looks like the kit will had 10ish lbs to the rifle and is over a foot wide, tall and 4 to 5 inches long.

Like putting a shoe box to the bottom of your rifle.

These mags are WAAAAAYYY better and cost is way less. You can also carry a bunch of these mags even the 100rds versions where you are likely not going to carry more then 1 snail drum.

Surefire is going to sell zillions of them.

Agreed 100%! When I first saw this, I thought "well, that's a billion-dollar idea if I've ever seen one."

The military contracts alone will absorb production for the next 5 years, I'd bet.

[RobSmith]

I can see a whole lot of melted handguards and other failures in the future ....

 

[raks]

Magpull has filed a patent for a similar design, once they get it into production I'm sure we'll see them up here through the regular routes. Another advantage of these mags over the drum style is that they will probably fit in a regular vest.

The 60-round versions will apparently fit into a dual magazine pouch.

Suppressors and full autos = tears.

i never said pinned!

 

[mrsmitty]

I like the 60 rounder

 

[pbr streetgang]

First off we need a conservative majority, then get rid of this stupid 5 round law. Then these magazines would be the best thing since sliced bread. Could you even pin these things to 5 rounds? Looks like it would be kind of tricky...

 

[mebiuspower]

Surefire mags in Canada = it's like trading for a bigger wee wee then put 5 condoms on.

 

[Clobbersauras]

First off we need a conservative majority, then get rid of this stupid 5 round law.

You're dreaming in technicolor if you think either of those things are going to happen.

Well, one of those is more likely to happen than the other.....
