Issue with the TMag is two fold.

1. Time required to put the TMag cavities in the mold and run production.
2. Cost of the transparant material we decided on using. It has doubled since running our intial samples.

We hope to revisit the TMag soon.

I got a L3 mag a windowed pmag and a non windowed pmag.

I go to the range sat.

The L3 is in dire need of a no tilt fallower.  Maybe one from Magpul

What is an L3 mag?

Lancer L5 maybe?

I have a couple and really like 'em.

Why do you say that? Did you have any mag related problems resulting from the green follower?

I think Stickman has a few of those TMags he used for testing and has a few pics of them in his rifles (much to the dismay of us mere mortals that do not have them).

Am I right, Stick?

Oh, if he meant Lancer L5s, Magpul followers won't fit them at all.  The internal dimensions are different.  At least that's what I read online.

I think we've all read the many posts from people supposedly 'in the know' that the smoked and clear mags will be available 'very soon' or 'any time now' .
I guess not.

Didn't you know green followers are passe.  In 2003 they were the cure for everything, now they will get you killed!  Go figure....

Troll.  Try adding something to the conversation for a change.  Who do you work for again?

Oh come on.  Can't you take it?  You have been repeating the same blather over and over.  I certainly have no financial intrest in any of this stuff like you do.  Dealers and manufacturers have been running this board long enough.

You're right,

I'm sure you'd agree your comments in general about the industry pushing the limits to make better a product are close minded at best.

For the most part I venture here in search of people spreading misinformation and do what I can to explain the truth.  You'd have people beleive that obvious improvements to existing parts are nothing but gimmicks.  Give it a rest Bro.  

We can take it.  It just gets old that's all.

Back to T-MAG.  MAGPUL already said it all.  Cheers.

... Anyway, Drake; is it official that Tmag's are on the back burner now and will not be coming to market in any form in the near future?

That is correct.

In my opinion,  a window mag satisfies the round count issue.  Clear stuff looks cool but IMO is not as durable.

That makes me sad.

Even if it cost 2x what a PMAG does and isnt as durable, I would still buy a couple.

What he said.
We know it's not as durable, it's already been said here many times.
There will still be a demand!
I think we all realize that it is to be used as a training/range mag only. That's just fine.
Needs to be put back on the front burner!

Really?  I have a see-through smoke-colored Promag AK47 magazine that I think is silly-looking.  It works great, but it looks lame like a toy part.

I really thought Magpul saying they were putting this on the back burner was a good idea.  The PMAGs look cool, and the ones with windows are cool too, but clear?  Really?  To each his own, however.  I just didn't think there'd be a big demand.

MSAR has had good luck with their semi-clear AUG clone mags made of DuPont Radel.  Is it because the AUG offers more real estate for thicker feed lips that they are able to get away with this where the TMag in an AR platform isn't?
