They made the statement in the first post in their vendor section thread.
Probably, since Bullseye seems to be sold out of them right now.
Adding in my own 2 bits otherwise - if the PCV mags were made for .50, then they were not tested sufficiently with all manner of projectiles. I sold mine on.
yes, but if you read on they are unwilling to provide details of the testing till they arrive and have not commented as to why they are unwilling to show or elaborate on what testing was done.

we had a brand new straight from the manufacturer case of the cproduct magazines at our 3gun shoot this weekend.... unopened, the label it clearly stated it was from cproducts and shipped direct to the company currently selling them..... I will attest to that in court so there is NO DOUBT cproducts is manufacturing the magazines and shipping them from their warehouse.

A magazine is not just a mag body. A magazine is a mag body plus a spring plus a follower plus a floorplate plus engravings/markings etc. If a court will be satisfied that a magazine (not just a mag body) was designed or manufactured for use in a .50 calibre rifle, then the magazine may hold five .50 calibre cartridges. Whether a magazine was designed or manufactured for use in a .50 calibre rifle is a question of fact. A court will require evidence on the point. The manufacturer or person possessing the magazine will have to prove it, or rather, more accurately, the Crown will have to prove that it is NOT. In the case of these magazines, can the manufacturer prove the magazines were designed or manufactured to hold .50 calibre?
Well BBB, what say you?
Should we be expecting to see an apology to the other dealer that was pitched under the bus?
1) the manufacturers own staff don't know they make these -wtf is that? which means...
2) they're still pretty hinkey and.....
3) you want to take a chance knowing the above, that's cool - you know the risk, some of us didn't know the history and now that we do we can make our own decisions so...
4) apologize for what, exactly? because.......
5) I for one appreciate the effort BBB has made, so....
6) chill out
the manufacturers dont have to prove anything, the crown has to prove that the manufacturer's intent was NOT to hold 5x .50 calibre rounds but willfully and knowingly without a shadow of a doubt purposely built to hold 15x .223 rounds.

beesons rant is about a canadian manufacturer building 50bw mags..... similar to pcv
This could easily be a simple case of contract manufacturing. The world is run using contract manufacturers. Do you think Apple who sells you your iphone/pad/etc actually makes them? Hells no, they get built at Foxcon or whatever slave prison camp contract manufacturer is in vogue in Chine right now and sent to apple to be sold. What's different here?? Cproducts has every right to manufacture and sell a magazine that may look similar to another model they make, and they have the right to manufacture it exclusively for that distribution partner and not for general retail sales. It's all just standard business - no conspiracy theories, just the way the world works.
Of course a manufacturer could design and manufacture magazines for .50 Beowulf cartridges.
The concern is that magazines designed and manufactured for 5.56 have been subsequently altered and remarked for .50 Beowulf.
All that is needed is clarification.
