History of PMags in Canada for a beginner.

What a bunch of bunk, PMags cost $15.00 USD, it takes about 2 mins to pin them' they sell in Canada for 45.00 or more, there is no way that is not cost effective, lazy yes, but definitely cost effective.

This is a sound business decision for Magpul. Why would they bother pinning mag for Canada when they are selling every P-Mag they make in the US ?

I work for a US company and lots of my co workers have had P-Mags from various retailers in the US. They are all waiting for their order to be filled. The panic buying in the US has caused an extreme shortage on most high cap mags, expecially the P-Mags

I'm not talking about Magpul, but Canadian dealers who cannot seem to be bothered with paying attention to their customers wishes.
 
Pmags will still be the best performing and the best looking, compared to the other offerings no wonder Magpul is dominating the market.

Agree x 10000000, it is so simple to read these forums and see what customers want. Which is why I will never understand why some retailers never have stock or have no idea what I am talking about half the time, it can be frustrating when dealers know less than the customers. Thats the situation with my local dealer.

Is there a dealer for pmags/magpul in Sask??

I am not sure it is the Canadian dealers that are to blame on the pmag shortage?? I have family in the US and they can't get mags...or stocks, or grips, or anything else from Magpul.

At some point, I would think they will start making more then demand, until then I guess it is a waiting game.

They are to blame for the shortage in Canada,seeing as none have brought any PMags in bulk even before the current rush in the US. Those that were brought in were immediately quadrupled or more in price and sold in small batches.
 
I do have a simple solution for blocking them, if any of the importers are interested, PM me. No more drilling them. Dave's surplus is already using my system with no issues. They initially brought in 100 pmags, unfortunatley local LE bought most of them. They will be getting more in very soon.

What's so secret about it that only importers can know? I'm not an importer can I also know?
 
Sorry that all came out wrong, no secret, was just trying to give importers some insentive. They are the ones we want to buy mags from.
It is simple realy, cnc cut plastic insert fits inside of mag spring, limits them to 5 rnds, no need for drilling. Quick to install, much quicker then drilling and popriveting.
 
Is the CNC plastic block fixed to the mag somehow? I was under the impression that the modifications to "pin" or prevent more than 5 rnds from being loaded needed to be done in such a way that it could not easily be reversed...

Just curious... had a similar setup in a 15 rnd Beretta pistol mag and was advised that it was not a permanent alteration and therefore was not legal.

It is an acceptable method providing the Magazine base plate is permanently affixed to the magazine body

which is easy, drill a hole or if there is one allready there and pop rivet the bottom of the magazine so it cannot slide off.

does anyone know if there is a ready madehole on the bottom of themagpul mag's ??
 
Thanks for the input Savage, a couple of drops of crazy glue will work as well.
Althou I was under the impression that as long as you can not take the mag apart with just your bare hands you are good to go. U need some sort of tool like a screw driver to depress the base plate plunger to remove the base plate, unless u got half inch nails. Haha

Wes, there is no hole in the bottom of the pmag and the ease of dissasembly is one of the best features of the mag. I would rather look at someway of affixing a rod to the follower.
