update on the 10 round AT15 pistol mags JAN 30 2015 MAGS are in stock

[alberta tactical rifle]

2 years ago we had CAA in Israel make 10 round mags for our AT15 pistols.
They were pretty good mags overall, so we ordered and paid for a ton more of them, that was 14 months ago.
To date we are still waiting for them and have been fed every excuse possible, so I have asked them to return my money.
So far nothing.
HOWEVER we have worked out a deal with a local injection molding company to manufacture these mags but with several improvements. The improvements being better more durable polymer, absolute only 10 round capacity, better quality stainless spring, as well as being available in several colors. Black, FDE and OD obviously, but also the possibility of hot pink followers and base plates as well as glow in the dark.

These mags are going to cost us more, but we will be honoring the pricing set for the Gen 1 mags for those who have either prepaid or are on the pre-order list.

Good to hear, and as usual you are always "out in front" on stuff like this Rick. I'm still G2G for a half dozen in FDE. Cheers

Can we pre-order?

Yes now that we have secured an unlimited supply.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

So when do I pay. I have been on the notify me list for a while.

As soon as we actually have them in stock we will email you and collect payment.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

Any chance of these in 7.62x39?

No as we do not manufacture an AT15 pistol in that caliber.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

any idea of what the new price will be? For those of us not lucky enough to be on the pre order list.

We are trying hard to keep in the same $28.00 per mag range as the originals, but until we actually get them made will not have a 100% firm price on new orders. It may vary a buck or 2 at the worst.

Is it going to be possible to disassemble this new version for cleaning?

Given the revisions on the base plate and follower, most likely they will be able to disassemble although with a stainless steel spring I don't understand why you would want to.
The gen 1 mags also had a stainless spring so all I do with them is wash them in soap and water, they come out squeaky clean.
A minute in the ultrasonic cleaner also makes them surgically clean.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

Nice stuff.
I tried to order some last year. I think 6. Was told you would call me when they arrived. Im assuming this still stands?
Not concerned about a dollar or two increase. Just want to get some asap.

You bet it does.

For everyone who is interested.
If you have paid for some, you WILL be advised as soon as the mags are in stock.
If you are on the "email me when they come in" list you WILL be notified as soon as the mags are in stock.

Will these still have the longer body for better fit into mag pouches?

And when you say absolute 10 round capacity, do you mean they won't be 10.5 for seating on a closed bolt?

20 round length of mag body, and a 10.5 round capacity.

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

what profile are the mags IE short 10 rounders, 20 round or the ever elusive 30 round profile.

20 round mag length for the body. A 30 round body creates many issues with a long follower that we just could not overcome. And frankly a 30 hanging out the bottom of a pistol looks odd.

 

[Hrcboy]

Can't wait till these mags come out. The Press check Beowulf mags are utter crap!

Just to share the love, this is a picture of the Generation 1 AT-15 magazine. I'm not sure exactly what the Generation 2 will look like, but this should give you a bit of an idea.

Click for higher quality.

Just I wild guess, but I don't think the new ones will have "CAA" on them

 

[alberta tactical rifle]

Rick if we are on the email notification list are we just standing behind the "pre order" "pre paid" folks?

The prepaid guys will simply ship out as soon as they land, the pre-orders we will have to contact for payment and shipping info, so best answer is "sort of" but no worries, we are running a fairly large initial production run. The initial order size will cover all the existing prepaid orders as well as all the pre-orders and still there should be a few thousand left over. The best part of working with a local supplier is that we can order 5000 or 10000 without worrying that shipping and exchange will effect the price. Being as the mags are made less than an hour away smaller orders are very viable.

And I've heard that the Gen 2 design is slightly curved in shape, and not straight like the Gen 1's.

CAA proposed a curved body, they were claiming that the follower did not work as well in the straight mag body.
What we have done with the follower has solved the problems they were encountering. It is amazing how making a purpose built mag solves many of the problems that non purpose built mags have, so the Gen 2 ATRS mags will be pretty much a straight body due to the follower being "unique" and purpose built.

We have addressed the problems of the Gen 1s not working out of the box on Tavors and such, as well as squaring off the rear cutout. There are also a couple other improvements that have been made to make these truly great mags. Our goal was to make a better than Magpul mag and so far I believe we have done so.

Awesome. Because the straight design looks terrific!

Woohoo! Awesome news. Love the Gen1s and have been waiting for more.

 

[TinkerBell]

i have 10 of the gen1 mags and been using them for 3 gun and such... i am not easy on my mags and they get dumped on concrete and wood floors as well as dirt, mud and etc.... they have worked great.

Hope you guys will be using high quality polymer plastic as the PMAG's, or better . The plastic used in those PCV mag is just, "plastic"......

The polymer we are employing is the same as what Magpul uses, however we are having "glass" added to the mix in order to further strengthen the finished product.
Please do not ask me more on this as I really do not know exactly what the plastics experts are adding to the mix other than seeing the difference in the polymer. The "glass" adds significant rigidity and durability to the finished product, which will enhance how they work as well as how long their service life is. The additional cost of this is marginal, so to have the very best product we can have asked for this option.

ALSO A note to all parties reading this. My PM box is getting to the over flow stage, PLEASE do not PM me. Read below. Thank you.
