Magpul AK-47 Magazine

By Aaron on May 8, 2013 1 Comments

When you think of polymer AR-15 magazines, Magpul PMAGs are almost the universal image that comes to mind.  The company now aims to make you think “Magpul AK-47 magazine” when you need to feed your Eastern Bloc gun.

Magpul AK-47 magazine

I recently read an independent test in a tactical magazine that compared 5 different polymer magazines. Though several other brands scored high, the Magpul PMAG was still the reigning champ.  From dusty battlegrounds, to the mean streets, to home defense and beyond, Magpul has produced a great magazine that is enjoyed by many.

PMAG 30 AK MOE

Until recently Magpul has focused most of the PMAG magazines on the AR rifle market.  The most popular mag being for the AR-15, but also offering magazines for the  AR-10 in .308 caliber, and two options for the British SA80 and the H&K G36.

For the first time, however, Magpul has entered the increasingly popular AK-47 market with the new PMAG 30 AK MOE.  The new PMAG 30 for the AK-47 brings all the experience, expertise, and technical magic that has made the Magpul PMags so popular in the AR market to the Kalashnikov world.  Specifically designed to work in the AK-47, AKM, AKS, and similar patterned rifles chambered for the 7.62×39, the AK MOE is a 30-round lightweight polymer magazine that offers a removable base plate, constant curve, and the highly regarded and dependable Magpul follower.

Magazine Prices Have Gone Crazy

By Richard on January 17, 2013 9 Comments

For those of you who don’t recall the magazine prices after the ’94 “assault weapons” law went into effect, prices went crazy.  Glock magazines, something I bought for about $20 apiece last summer, were selling for more than $100.  Guess what…those kinds of prices are back.

Checking a once-popular web site for ammo and magazine prices, I see they have definitely jacked up the pricing on magazines.

Molon Labe Industries – SCAR Magazines and More

Molon Labe SCAR Magazine

While on the flight out from Tampa, I spotted a gentleman who I suspected was a kindred spirit.  We struck up a conversation at baggage claim and I discovered he is Christopher Gleason, the president and CEO of Molon Labe Industries.

Cheapest Glock Magazines

By Richard on July 10, 2012 1 Comments

Cheapest Glock Magazine“Where can I get the cheapest Glock magazines?” is one of the more common e-mails I get.  Considering how popular the pistols are, it really shouldn’t be a surprise.

As you may suspect, different retailers will run specials or sales on Glock mags, so prices can and will vary.  However, for standard  magazines, I typically expect to pay about $25 +/- for new.  Online sites like Midway USA and Brownells tend to be solid sources for the mags at this price.

With a little looking, though, you can sometimes do better.  Right now, for example, Natchez Shooters Supplies is selling many of the standard capacity magazines for just $19.99.  In fact, I just ordered a few more 15 round Glock 19 mags from them.  Heck, at that price, it is hard to not order a bunch.

Glock Magazine Baseplates from Vickers Tactical

By Richard on March 17, 2012 No Comments

Gear Scout is reporting that a new Glock magazine baseplate has been developed by Vickers Tactical.  The new magazine floorplates are wider than standard baseplates to allow for stripping the magazine from the pistol during a malfunction clearance.  Vickers does not have the parts listed on their website yet, so I don’t know what the MSRP will be.

Troy BattleMag Torture Video

By Richard on March 16, 2012 1 Comments

Troy Industries published this torture-test video of their magazines:

As you can see, the shooter put six 7.62×39 rounds through one of the Troy BattleMags and then took the damaged magazine and ran it in an AR.  Damage to the magazine prevented more than 23 5.56 rounds from being loaded, but they all ran without a hitch in the gun.
