I'd heard that Lancer discontinued FDE translucent a while ago and only produce clear and smoke translucent these days.

I've only seen the transluscent fde for 7.62. Did they ever make a 5.56 transluscent fde?

Yes, and larue just sold out of them so either lancer is back in production or larue had a pile of them.

FYI, I saw this post and ordered a couple of the FDE Lancer tran. mags. They are backordered 4-6 weeks. We'll see. Last time Larue backordered my order, it took over 3 months to get it.

One of my buddies talked to a Lancer rep and the FDE translucent mags are back in production, but currently on backorder status.  I snagged 10 from a GB auction.

I have not been charged yet so I guess it will happen when they ship. Neither of the two emails from Larue specify when I will be charged.

Also, it says backordered 3-4 weeks. My mistake.

I didn't know they brought these back until today, thanks for posting this! I just ordered four myself! OP, from what I could research, I don't think they're producing any in ODG..

I don't even own an ODG gun and I agree! Just having an FDE version already sets them apart from the competition, another color only helps.

Hi Grayrider86,

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner.


At this time, we do not have any plans to do a Translucent FG magazine.


Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions.


Best Regards,


Dan

I actually only buy translucent mags from Lancer, I agree, it's what sets them apart and ODG would be awesome.  I get my opaque mags from Magpul.

They made a few translucent earth-tone mags when they first came out with the AWMs. They were $40, but I had to have two of them. Its good to see they are making something similar to them again. I never did hear why they discontinued the first version. My guesses are; they cost too much to make and they were too opaque. On the right is a standard L5.



'Translucent FDE is the tits'  

it sure is. Looks like they got the translucence right this time, and I like the new color.

Damn you all.  Friggin' enablers.  I FOed.

I figure they will go well with the rifle I call "50 shades of tan":



It helps immensely that they already come pre-engraved with my initials.  :)

It may have various colors and shades of finish, but it would be much more effectively camouflaged than a monochrome finish.

3 weeks and still no word. Will advice on the status of Larue's shipment.

If you guys can't wait for the next batch then order from some from GB, there is a dealer named Jestice Arms that has them in stock.  I bought a dozen from him and it was a smooth transaction.

I purchased 4 mags from LaRue and 4 from Jestice Arms websites approximately 2 weeks ago. Jestice Arms just shipped my order today, but still awaiting on LaRue which is no issue to me.

Yeppers.  And I have to believe that a tan/brown rifle will blend in a bit better than a flat black one as well.  Very little in the outdoors is pure black.

Back on topic, I had an excuse to order something else from LaRue (MBT too hard to pass up).  As long as I was ordering....yes, a couple more translucent FDE mags.

Between these and the FDE 20 rounders I already have I could almost switch to these for competition, although I still need something in the 40+ round range, and it would be very nice if someone made a base pad like the Taran Tacticals for Lancers.  Then they would be a functional duplicate of PMAGs for my uses.

Lancer must have put out some mags because I just received shipping notification fromDSG that I ordered just two weeks ago I their 10 pack.

Back when they first started to make them they made translucent:

Smoke/Grey
FDE
Black

They dropped FDE and black and added clear.
Now they have FDE again.

The translucent black are now the "rarer than hens teeth" version, but they look really cool in an 1-shade-of-black rifle.

Are you talking about their translucent brown color or actual FDE? I have some translucent brown and it's quite a bit darker than their new FDE offering.

So my mags finally came in from LaRue... although I did not expect the freebies they threw in for waiting!








Thank You LaRue!!!

My FDE Lancer mags arrived today. Got the usual swag from Larue plus some thick ARFCOM themed paper targets. Can't wait to go to the range!
