Now shipping: PMAG D-60 at www.magpul.com
The PMAG D-60 is a durable, lightweight, highly reliable 60-round 5.56x45 NATO/.223 Remington polymer drum magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. With a larger capacity than previous PMAGs, the PMAG D-60 gives the shooter 60 rounds of ammunition, effectively allowing the same round count as two standard capacity 30-round magazines without requiring a critical reload. The unique drum configuration keeps the height of the magazine manageable as well as allowing for prone firing and easier storage. Features an easy-to-use loading lever, paint pen dot matrix for easy marking, and a rear window for instant capacity indication. Compatible with a wide range of NATO firearms such as the M4, M16, SCAR™ MK16/16S, HK®416, MR556, M27 IAR, and others. FEATURES: * Next-generation impact and crush resistant polymer construction * Wide compatibility with most 'STANAG 4179' platforms such as the AR15, M4, M16, SCAR MK16/16S, HK416, MR556, M27 IAR, and others * Bolt hold open feature will lock the bolt back on the last round* * Loading Lever to take tension off the spring for easy loading by hand * Feed Tower compatible with most loading devices, including USGI stripper clips and guides, the StripLULA™, and others * Designed to be left loaded for long term storage without any loss of function or degradation * All components used are corrosion resistant * Easy to disassemble for cleaning with only a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar * Anti-glare translucent window on rear of drum allows for easy determination of rounds remaining * Paint pen dot matrix panel on back of body to allow for identification marking * Slip-on, semi-rigid Dust Cover prevents grit and debris intrusion during storage and transport SPECIFICATIONS: Weight, w/Dust Cover: 20.5 oz. Weight, loaded (M855 NATO): 46 oz. Length, max: 7.4 in. Width, max: 4.1 in. *NOTE: The D-60 is designed to lock the bolt back on the last round for most AR15/M4/HK416 platforms. This feature may or may not work for other weapons with bolt hold open levers that don't adhere to the Colt-spec. Made in U.S.A. Learn more at PMAG D-60

I think $130 for a reliable 60 round drum is a good deal. The competition is far more expensive.
Comparing the drum to the 40 in price isn't exactly fair being they are totally different products but if you're going to, it's worth noting the Magpul drum has a couple significant advantages to the 40 rounders. A) it holds 50% more ammo and B) it extends out of the rifle MUCH less. Those are both worth something and can only be achieved by using a drum magazine which cost much more to produce. The D-60 isn't going to replace every 20, 30 and 40 rounder in your stock but would make a great "in rifle" magazine if it proves to be as reliable as standard mags. |

A lot of people cannot see why a Ferrari is so much more than a Corvette or a standard sports sedan for that matter. The drum pricing is a direct result of it's engineering and manufacturing costs. If you need the capability the D60 offers, it delivers at a very affordable price. |

If I had a spare $130 to spend on one mag then I'd buy one just to piss off Feinstein and company.
But as far as practicality, it doesn't really do anything better (or more reliably) than what a pair of 30's can do. |

Much to my surprise (and it maybe shouldn't have been..), still can't actually order them from the website. |

MP says on their web site that they are shipping to dealers and distributors, so don't get your panties in a bunch just yet over price. I see MP stuff pretty steeply discounted from some dealers all the time so by the time these things hit the retail dealers they are apt to be substantially less than the $130 MSRP. THEN we can talk price.
I have enough drum magazines for 5.56. I've never had a problem with my Beta-C mags so I sure don't need another, but if this one held .458 SOCOM I'd be all over it like a duck on a June bug for no other reason than 'just because.' However, from the looks of it and the narrow coils I highly doubt it will take anything bigger than 5.56, so it is a non-starter for me too, but for totally different reasons than price. And before someone mentions the MWG mag, I don't care a lick for them. |

We put some up on the website direct, and we will continue to do so, but we have a significant number of orders from our dealers and distributors to fill, so we have to give them some priority. We are cranking them out, though. Anyone who has taken pre-orders will likely have all of the initial allocation spoken for, so if you're not pre-ordered somewhere, you can keep an eye on our website. We'll likely have more up after Thanksgiving.

Just went to the Magpul website and ordered one.
Not sure how important it will be in my tactical toolkit, but for sure I can envision wanting one and being forbidden from owning it. My big focus these days is items that might be restricted in the future, but that are available now. This qualifies. G. |

Just curious if anyone has received their D-60 mag yet? I ordered on Monday and haven't received an email order confirmation or tracking number. I think they use USPS Priority so I figured some of you may have received your drums by now.

I can't remember where I saw them but somebody had them for $104.00. I was thinking about getting a Beta mag., but I could get 2 1/2 of the Magpuls instead. I really don't see a need for me getting them but that is half the reason to get one, because you can.

The Magpul PMag D-60 is in stock again at Magpul.com for anyone interested. I think they are releasing small batches at a time on their website. They were available yesterday (11/27/15) until selling out. Now they're available again tonight (11/28/15). $129.95 and free shipping via Fed Ex.

I think for most users, the 40s have rendered these irrelevant, similar to what the 40s did to all the stupidly high priced +5 kits from places like Taran Tactical and Firebird.

They hold more and aren't as long as the 40 round mags. If they prove to be reliable I'll use one as my main go-to mag in my HD rifle. 60 rounds: because overkill is best kill.

I pre-ordered a D-60 back on Valentine's Day and have been anxiously waiting for them to be released. Waiting sucks but I'm very glad that Magpul took whatever time was needed to make sure they are as good as they can be. I'd be extremely disappointed if I finally got my hands on one only to find out it's not reliable enough to be used for anything serious and is nothing more than a range toy.
I called up DSG this morning to update my payment info since I wasn't sure if the card I used back then was still active. I was told they had one marked for my order and it should be going out today. I can't wait to get it to the range and do at least one very long mag dump . Now I have to endure the long wait for my prized mag to make its journey from Ft Worth Texas across the seas to my humble abode in the Vatican City.
