For those of us with the MGI modular magwell system is now Hydra Weaponry and will be doing more magwells. They have a MP5 9mm magwell on the site. I watched an AR15.com video https://youtu.be/ZDJZSe49JYg?si=2OaD89qjTbjyfzZp from ShotShow 2024. They had what I think was a .308 DPMS style magwell. The rep also said that they would also have large and small framed Glock magwells. Hopefully they will also be bringing back the Grease Gun magwell. The downside is they used to charge $125 per magwell. The price has now jumped to $275 each. Back in the day when they first came to market, twenty years ago, they charged $250 per magwell. This is a very cool system for DIAS and Lightning Link owners. But when the semi auto owners can buy complete lowers for around or lower than what the magwell costs. There is some advantage to have just one receiver for SBR registration and or a specialty fire control. I am heavily invested with this lower system and am looking forward to the new magwells.

A couple of weeks ago I was somewhat interested in learning more about another one of their products. While their website front page was accessible, the Shop page is flagged as Unsecure and access was blocked by both Chrome and Edge. I just tried again, and same story. If they want to actually sell anything, they need to update their website with current, secure software. I suppose one could call them and telephonically obtain whatever information desired, and place an order; but who can say that their internal order and credit card processing software is any more secure than the website Shop page. MHO, YMMV, etc. |

Scott Below are some pics I had a buddy take yesterday:  Here is a link to it on their website: https://hydraweaponry.com/product/hydra-10-stripped-lower-receiver-blk/ If you look at the link, it states, "This lower is not modular like our AR-15!!!!" Below has been on their website for like a month or so.  Below is their Suomi mag well but my buddy told me it was just a prototype and not for sale.  As most people know, I've always been a huge fan of this system but I'm not interested in the first two. I would be interested in the Suomi if they can get it working. I don't care for the MP5 magwell since no LRBHO. I was hoping for a Scorpion magwell and my friend told me they ARE coming out with a Scorpion magwell and I think they are working on doing the Glock magwells again but this time incorporating LRBHO. He didn't ask about the GG magwell....I guess because he and I both have those. |
