Magpul - Be honest

MagPul did NOT test in Afghanistan before production of Pmags or stocks or whatever....and certainly the Forearms were NOT tested either.

So all you know it alls... which Battlefield did they test in?? Ya, again. I thought so. Thanks for coming out.


Is their product used in many areas and by many agencies....sure. The product is pretty good.

That is not what is in question
 
Umm.

They are used in the battlefield, they are still being used in the battlefield meaning their products are standing the test of time in a real work environment. Magpul may not have factory tested their gear in the battle field, but by now their products have been well tested and well received, or they wouldn't be as successful as they are.
 
What is the point of your argument? The majority of their product line has seen major combat use.......and you don't see too many complaints.

back on topic for a second...to the OP, what kind of AR are you using?

Magpul and Norinco do not play well together, but if it is any other brand of AR you are GTG.

high speed, low drag....whoosh whoosh

I have magpul all over my norc, they all fit fine with no issue... So I don't know what you mean ?


Rivtec, magpul employs product engineers to test their materials... Just saying, they were designed to be near indestructible and have been proven on every battlefield and fielded by every special forces group pretty much globally so I think their products are pretty damn good.

Fanboy speech :)

Product Engineers do not Test the products.

Proven in every battlefield does not mean much when there is only ONE....and it is Dry and Dusty.

You would be hard pressed to prove that it is fielded 'pretty much' Globally.

I agree that they have come up with a good product and great marketing.

But someone has to provide documentation to these outrageous claims.

Anyway. Like the O.P wanted to know. I would say yes.



And thanks to those that PM me and Friend request me. Seems like My thoughts are shared by a few........

the OP asked specifically about the Magpul handguard, and there have been tons of threads on CGN regarding the issues fitting them on Norincos.

Clearly you haven't been to northern Afghanistan in the winter. Cold, wet and muddy would be a little more accurate. There is more to Afghanistan then the Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

Pictures of US/Russian/Canadian/British/Isreali soldiers running Magpul are all over the internet, I wouldn't be surprised if China and North Korea had some magpul gear as well hahaha

So then why all the hate?

What claims do you consider outrageous?

Anyway. Like the O.P wanted to know. I would say yes.

So you say yes after spending two pages ripping on people who buy magpul?

And thanks to those that PM me and Friend request me. Seems like My thoughts are shared by a few........

How is it fan boy speech? Fan boy = being blissfully ignorant of a products short comings simply because the brand name or hyping up the performance of a product beyond truth or fact based on the brand name.

So what do you consider battlefield tested? How do you conclude that a grip, AFG or stock is going to fail or is likely to fail? They are solid polymer... I don't see how performance would change from Afghanistan which is a pretty diverse country, to a jungle in Asia or anywhere else for that matter.

Furthermore Magpul stuff is not super expensive, excluding their stocks (which are still reasonably priced considering) the bulk of their product line is $10-$50. Pmags work great and are only $20 a mag, I don't see how buying them over a more expensive mag makes someone a fanboy? MOE hand guards are almost the same price as other handguards, they are comfortable, easy to install and they are pre tapped for rails (which are also cheap). So I fail to see why you are bashing magpul or calling people fan boys, this is not like someone just buying an Iphone because it is apple and you are paying for the name not the performance, you are buying a brand name product that is excellent quality at a price comparable to pretty much everything on the market!


the OP asked specifically about the Magpul handguard, and there have been tons of threads on CGN regarding the issues fitting them on Norincos.

I thought that only the old CQ311's had fitment issues, AFIK all the new CQB models are fine. I put MOE hand guards on mine with no modifications to the hand guards or the Norc. I know quite a few other people who run them as well on the 10.5" and 14.5" with no problem. I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying that I and the other people I know with the newer models have had no issues with the MOE hand guards being installed.

Are you using semantics as an excuse to be an uppity douche? Seriously, why bother?

"Battlefield tested" might not be the best phrase to use from a manufacture's standpoint (which they don't) but they are definitely "Battfield proven".
 
OP asked a simple question, there is no need to go trolling to just get your post count up :p
Magpul is solid enough for what we are allowed to use black rifle for in this country. Battlefield proven or not, don't dismissed the large number law enforcement agencies that also uses Magpul product.
 
Battlefield Proven carries much more weight than Battlefield Tested.

I've used P Mags at both temperature extremes, from summer in south central Iraq to the winter in eastern Afghan out in the snow and cold. P Mags are not perfect, the feed lips do crack over time, but they are good mags. Like any mag you must not grow attached to them and replace as soon as there are any obvious signs of damage.

Do you have any documentation to back that up? Apparently that's all that matters to a select few. And by few, I mean one (plus all of his new friends of course).

Did the pmag work in the cold and in the hot? What were the short comings aside from the fact that eventually the mag lips cracked?

In your opinion, for $20 is a Pmag a good investment for the average CGN shooter compared to the other available options (LAR, Tapco , Pinned steel, Norc)?

Also does buying any magpul product automatically make you a fan boy? IE (buying a $10 MOE grip vs a $10 RRA) What if your rifle came stock with Magpul parts? What if you had a beard before you watched the Magpul dynamic videos?,Do you need to shave to avoid being a Chris Costa fanboy?

This fan boy stuff is vexing to me.

The PMags worked fine in all conditions.

The Pmags are the best bang for your buck (5/30s). My preference for magazines is P Mags or USGI mags with anti tilt followers and magpuls or ranger plates. I wouldn't touch anything with the Tapco name on it. I have some LAR mags in Canada, but they seem cheaply made and required filing and sanding of the inside of the feedlips to get rounds to cycle smoothly. With the USGI styled Beowulf mag out I can't see a reason to buy another LAR mag.
