Its cool that they mention they chose it for rit dye and painting abilities.

It's said to be "WAY Stronger than the M3 Polymer", I'm sure the reason being is that there is NO color added into the mixture before molding and it probably bonds better that way.
So Magpul attempted to make a "White mag" for people to dye different colors, but yet it turned out to be a "Sand"/very light Tan color so know it can ALSO be marketed as something to accompany FDE furniture. Magpul knocked out 2 birds with 1 stone on this one!! M3 is their strongest Polymer, until this one, Wish they would make a "M4" out of this material in Black. I'm sure that's why Black was the ONLY color in M3, being the coloring in the mix takes away from the Polymers bonding properties so that's likely why "M3" Pmags weren't available in FDE and the classic colors being I'm sure they found a black compound that wouldn't hurt the Polymers bonding process but not so lucky with others.. I wonder what Gen the Furniture is?? Especially the New AK furniture. |

It sounds like the sand is just the raw plastics natural color without coloring.
Making it black would seems like it would make it a normal M3. |

Posted: 1/22/2015 12:49:43 AM EST
[#21]
Agreed, but I'm speaking on HOW it is apparently MUCH stronger than the M3 Pmag (The strongest one they have.)
These were made for people to DYE and make their own colors but just wondering WHY its so much stronger and isnt incorporated into new mags. The only thing I can think of is the lack of coloring mixed into the polymer before the molding process made the molecules bond together, in turn, creating a stronger mag being it has less additives. |

The implication in what I've read is that it is a new polymer formulation.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So, what's a good Rit formula to match Magpul OD Green? Unfortunately we'll have to wait until someone gets these new mags and does some trial and error. The underlying "sand" color will influence the final color in some way, so any known color recipes using FDE will be slightly different with these.

Another thing to help when you come up with colors, assuming these will come with the dust covers like the black M3's do, is to use the covers as test pieces in your dye to see how the finished color will come out before you do the mag.
Heck, if you're like me and don't really use the covers at all, you could even cut them up into several smaller pieces and get several trials out of one.

In the past people dyed these all the time, but I assumed they maybe used some type of primer (that is no longer needed), and also when they were Hydro-Dipped for added designs, they still had the original color in the background (Like the "Reaper" Version, etc etc.)
Hope they use this new strength in upcoming mags, although its likely stronger due to them not adding color in the Polymer mix, being they never Dye their mags, its mixed in the mold. The Polymer probably bonds better without the extra Black ingredient like in the "M3 Pmag" (Always wondered why the "M3" was strictly black, I bet a certain New type of Black additive was used to not affect M3 strength.) They also said you will not have to tape off the windows, paint must not stick to the "Maglevel" window in the "Sand Mag." Just my 2 cents. |

Indeed, and if they are actually light Tan colored and not "White" like in that pic we saw in that guys lap, people will buy them to compliment "FDE" builds, and also for the fact that they are stronger than any other Pmag on the market... It's a "Triple Purpose" Mag!! Magpul killed 3 birds with 1 stone on this one!!!!!! |

At least for the colors y'all normally make (OD, FG, SG, Plum, FDE, Pink) I made SGA furniture into OD green using about 2 Tbs Dark Green RIT, 3 or so drops of Red RIT, and 6-7 drops Brown RIT. 6 min in the dye just below boiling; probably around 200 degrees F.

Additionally, the colors will vary with water hardness/iron content, and a host of other factors. It's fun to dye your own stuff with grocery store products but keep your expectations realistic.

I'm imagining an index style thread with a constantly updated OP that follows a specific format where the posts would only be contributions to the effect of (example): COLOR: Magpul OD Green METHOD USED: RitDye, liquid/powder COLORS USED: (Color ratio recipe) WATER AMOUNT: # cups HEAT LEVEL: X EXPOSURE/DIP TIME: Y PROCEDURE: (Explanation) Followed by pictures of the finished product, and whatever reference material was used, be it an older magazine/stock/grip/hand guard/rail panel/etc in the case of replicating a Magpul color, or if a different color entirely, whatever other source imagery was utilized. Straightforward, to the point, no wading through the thread needed. OP would be updated with the index of colors, and what thread pages the color recipes could be found on. |
