AR pistol magazine wish...
- Thread starter Allstone
- Start date
What? If Promag pins them at 10 rounds and marks them as LAR mags, then they ARE manufactured as LAR mags. The magazine says so, marked by the manufacturer, and they only hold 10 rounds. What more do you want? Just because customs won't let more come into the country doesn't mean that the ones that are here are prohibited. This is how stupid rumors get started.

They are not rumors, if it was we could get our 10/32 9mm mags. How many .223 10/30 mags do you own? My guess is none
I was the guy working on an extension base for the Lar mags. I recieved a ton of interest in them and sent a few out to some members here for testing. I asked in return for some feedback on functionallity,design,feel and sturdyness....I got what I was after.
My "day job" has been extremely busy this year but some progress and a new design is soon to be unveiled. Many of the people that contacted me have been very patient as I expect that mid to end of Feb. the new version will be avail. in small #'s
I have been working and researching different blends of poly/plastic for this item. You wouldn't believe how many variations there are in the poly world. This is unfortunatly a slow process as molds are expensive to make and require an astronomical amount of detail work to make them perfect. The ones I had made functioned OK to good by all reviews.......But I'm still not happy with the finnish or satisfied with the durabillity yet.
As most of you can appreciate,I would like to get them perfect as possible before releasing them en'mass. I do not want to take anybody's money for a product untill I'm satisfied myself.
Production will be slow as I am at present a one man show in this endeavor. I would again like to send the new version to the same group of people to try and get their feedback again. Mass production at this time is just not an option. If this turns out to be a sucess then I will again investigate the possibility of contracting a manufacturing company to mass produce.
In summary if all goes well I will unveil them in the near future(by Feb/Mar.) Thanks to all who have gave input and fedback to this point(you know who you are). And further thanks to those patiently waiting.

To be honest I completely missed that thread, but I'm glad to hear you're off and running! Are they just "30-round" extensions or is a "20-round" an option as well? Any pictures that you can tempt us with...?
Sorry, I at this time would like to keep the final design under wraps. I have the next 3 weeks off so I will surely make some progress in that time and share some pics of the first castings of this new version. Bear with me folks and thanks for your patience

You should make a thread dedicated to the idea and for updates on releasing it. I'm interested as well.
They are not rumors, if it was we could get our 10/32 9mm mags. How many .223 10/30 mags do you own? My guess is none
My point is that when these mags were brought into Canada, they were legally imported. Where do you get off telling folks that they are prohibited? I will repeat what I said earlier, just because they are not letting more into Canada doesn't mean that the ones that are here already are prohibited. THIS IS A RUMOR THAT YOU STARTED. And I do own 3 10/30 9mm promags. LEGALLY, I might add.

Personal preference I suppose but the 20 round PMAGS imo look "MUCH" better then 30. If it were ever possible seeing the 20s, pinned to 10 would really be the bees knees IMO!
Seriously, we just need to be able to obtain UNPINNED 20 and 30 round PMAGS. Stupid law.

Well yes I agree, but likelyhood of it ever happening while we are alive? Not so sure..
I think it would be easier to get that, then it would to get rid of the classifications. But who knows. I doubt Magpul would make a 10 round PMAG simply because of ITAR. Only Canadians want them, and they are a non-military application.

Good point.
+1 had not thought of that, seems that would be good angle for sure as there has to be "millions" there that would go for it and buy..
Hmmm I will have to give some thought on how to best construct a letter to send and find out "WHO" exactly to send it to.
I know awhile back I sent a general email through Magpuls site on interest of a 10 round /20Pmag but never got anything back, probably went straight to delete bin lol,

Send it to magpul. Highlight the need in California and Canada for a 10 round "pistol" magazine, must be a pistol magazine, and that the competitive "LAR" mag is lacking in its length for manipulation purposes. If they understand why it has to be labelled a pistol mag it would help. Would be a good starting point.
