Lancers FTW!

In before "the military only buys what's cheapest" (I.E. Anti Glock) crowd. I'm sure just because it's Magpul I'll hear crickets.

All that tax revenue Colorado screwed themselves out of.

That was EXACTLY my thought.

P-mags are now official USMC mags?

That won't make the metal heads happy.

Out of curiosity, what's the problem with aluminum USGI mags?
Why are plastic mags better?

Considering large scale issues; manufacturing, reliability, weight, cost, disposal/recycling.

Kinda seems like aluminum mags would score higher overall.

Ever get a dented and dinged USGI mag? I've had them hang up as the follower went past the ding. The feed lips can bend too. Besides, the "improved" Green Followers were a joke of a fix, the best thing for my USGI's has been the Magpul followers but even some of these don't fit in a non-issued USGI mag (which underscores the tolerance issue mentioned above).

Just my impressions anyway and worth every cent you paid for it.

Cheyenne, WY - Where the snow doesn't melt - it just blows around until it wears out. Spent two winters there, if it wasn't for the Green Door, the bowling center and the Clown's Den, I would have gone nuts.

Suck on that Colorado.
