TMags might be great, but since I have a ton of clear Lancers and they have never given me any problems, I don’t see how the TMags bring anything to my party, especially since (if configured the same as PMags) they don’t play nice with many of the calibers and bullets I use (.458 SOCOM based cartridges).
Bring the clear TMag out in 40R though and I’ll be getting a dozen or so. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SouthernSlammed: Not anything "new" that they are doing. They have been trying to give this to us since the PMAG first dropped. They haven't had a polymer that's been worth a shit tho. Now they have something exclusive to them, that works. We may start seeing different colors, depending on what color will do to the polymer. They have always been trying something different, it just hasn't given the best results. The price tag comes with that exclusive polymer that makes this work. Same for the AMAG, cost of material will drive those mags for future. Magpul is to the gun world what Apple is to the electronics world: A marketing machine that happens to make gun parts. I doubt very highly that Magpul has exclusive rights to the polymer, and if they do, it's likely a very slight modification of some existing polymer that's already on the market, just so that they can make that claim. Don't buy marketing hype. |

Why put it out there when you already have a near monopoly on the magazine market....unless they're starting to lose that monopoly to someone else who already makes clear magazines. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By chaas67: Honest question - what’s the advantage/fascination of translucent mags? The drip. They just look cool. If I was in a serious pickle, I'd go to my Okay aluminum mags first. But I have some Lancers, a cool as hell Grot, and I'll grab one of these. More mags are good. More variety when I'm playing Barbie dress up with my rifles is good. |

These magazines are not the end all for magazines. More likely to compete in the translucent market for those who like those type of magazines. I'm sure they will be 100% functional just like many other magazines. Of course buy a few if you want to try out. As for Lancers they have their fan base and these may not appeal to them.

Steyr did this with AUG mags in the 70's.
I always wondered if they had made them for the AR series would Magpul have existed. |

Didn't read all the specs but if .Gov approved I assume "A1" ammo will be ok.

I have no desire for a transparent mag. I do have a couple of the purple Lancers just for the hell of it but all my AR mags are USGI Al. or PMAGs. I don't need to see my ammo in a mag, hell I don't even care for the windowed mags.

So Tmag= Trans Mag.
What witch craft was done to keep the polymer strong? I thought transparent polymers were usually weaker. I'm kinda interested. |

Their website has changed the "Coming Spring 2024" to "Coming Summer 2024."
Bastards. (like I really need more magazines...) |

Bummed about it being moved to summer.
As a 300blk fanboi, I'm excited for these mags. But that is mostly for those folks that rock 5.56. I will pick up one or two just to have and test, but I see my new system eventually being: Smoked Lancer 30 rounders for supersonic 300blk Smoked Lancer 20 rounders for subsonic 300blk Olive drab T-mag 30 rounder for 5.56 Being able to look at the rounds in a mag for a danger noodle before loading it into a 5.56 upper is a big plus. |
