    they announced these ones ages ago, just didnt have the stock in. they cant sell magpul copy stuff after the hassle they had with the PRS stock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    <dances the dance of abject joy>

    Not only can I finally get my PMags, I can get them in realcap too!

    <opens Magpul website and starts singing "Have I told you lately that I love you">

    Now if only I could get them in OD or Tan too.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    HAHA., i was wondering how long it would take ya dex., :D
    Im buyin a bunch of them myself too. :)

    the ones he originally posted where not the star licensed copy's, the ones he had posted originally have already pine on sale on some other site (bit like the flip mount he had advertised) and reviewed , all he done is brought a load of star boxs and giving you the chance to buy 1/2/3/4 or 5 at a time

    Yes, he was selling the copies at one stage, but not openly through the site, you had to email him and arrange for him to do it off the records, exactly how i got my Magpul PRS stock after he got into sh*t for selling the copied gear.,
    He sent out an email about these ones a while ago when i was just gonna get the copies so i decided to wait for these instead.,

    What does p-mag mean?????

    Its just a magazine made by magpul industries, and they look fancy, of course., :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 982 ✭✭✭RC car fanatic


    Indeed they do. But who would use those in a skirmish? Besides for reinactments or special skirmishes they're useless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Cough cough, magpul copied Aug mags, cough cough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    milsim? or an aeg used as a sniper/dmr but i do agree i do not see the point of real caps sometimes, if you want real caps just buy mid caps and load 34 ish round that way 30 rounds will feed well and you have the option of using the full mid cap capacity if needed

    Seriously, how much are these for 10 real caps?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,676 ✭✭✭✭Witcher

    Yeah, but they will set off a Magpul rifle, which Dex is making for himself.

    He's also used to using 50 round lo-caps in his SPR so 30 rounds isn' a big

    drop, I'm sure he'll make it work :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    40 usd for 5 on ebaybanned by the looks of things, stars website says they come in packs of 10, star previous real caps have been about 30 - 40 usd for 10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    if magpul got the finger out and produced or allowed to be produced the masada in aeg form i would be all over them.

    might look cool in a scar....i will wait for the midcaps to see


    edit: they dont appear to be in stock or have already sold out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    i was under the impression that Bushmaster owned the rights to the masada design know?

    anyway when has copyright ever had anything to do with airsoft :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    they'd be used a lot in my opinion., theres a growing move to semi-milsim type games with limited ammo and their way more intense than the usuall games with thousands of bbs on ya.,

    Yep, its Bushmaster now and it's no longer called the "Masada" - its the ACR now.

    ... I guess Bushmaster didnt want ot answer anymore questions about Israeli affiliation.

    /thats enough politics, talk amore about these sexy sci-fi mags :)

    true, but i've seen very few events/competitions sites go all the way to real caps mid caps are seen as a balance, and like i said to me mid caps seem the more economical option as if you want to play real cap just load less bbs :)

    i believe they do or appear to say that on their site at least.

    from memory they had given the aeg rights and it was all action and they they retracted it...

    by all accounts magpul have a fairly large presence in asia and protect their interests, how shall i put this, rather vigorously. the rumour was ebaybanned got a letter.....again thats all heresay, i just wish someone reputable would do one....i would be all over one of them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding

    they protect it as they have there marketing there own 'training line' up until know it has manly been accessory grips stocks rail covers receivers, and know these mags in partnership with star

    What does p-mag mean?????

    Pmag means, simply enough, Polymer mag. While Magpul are by no means the first people to make polymer mags for RS rifles, they have made the most durable and effective mag ever created according to pretty much every military testing facility. There's reports of Marines getting a batch for "test to destruction" trials and, short of actually blowing them up, they didn't actually stop working. They continue to function after being shot through and run over with a 5 ton truck.
    The airsoft versions probably won't have the same grade of materials making them up but Magpul tend to oversee everything very strictly so these mags should be top quality and feed perfectly. They also look sexier than a Miss Universe swimsuit event.
    Indeed they do. But who would use those in a skirmish? Besides for reinactments or special skirmishes they're useless.

    I would, in a heartbeat. I would specifically use them for Milsim, restricted ammo and scenario games, and I dare say many others would. I'd actually consider taking them out to a few regular games too if I knew my opponents were using midcaps rather than high.
    Cough cough, magpul copied Aug mags, cough cough.

    Actually you'd be wrong. Again.
    AUG mags are waffle type. It's a fairly common system that's been used on AK's before it was on AUG's, and on plenty of things before that. So they didn't come up with it. If you must attempt a comparison, they're closer to the Canadian C7 magazines.
    Seriously, how much are these for 10 real caps?

    Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

    Where there's a Gucci, there's a way.

    A 50 to 30 drop isn't going to bother me that much. I'm gonna stick a 3 round burst module into this anyway so that's 10 bursts per mag. Easy figures to follow.


    Incidentally, for those of you looking for the midcap PMag's, they're currently taking preorders on them on WGC and Redwolf. At $25 each, they're not cheap (though that's not stopping me), but they are 120 round. I'd hazard a guess they'll be a Star/Magpul collaboration again. As with these realcaps, they seem to be only available in black.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding

    i thought that but i think those mid caps are straight from magpul like there m4/m16 pistol grips for example, not licensed to a 3rd party, the star real caps are part of a new line according to the news something called 'Green Label'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    I thought they were going to be a purely inhouse Magpul affair initially too, having seen Star making the realcaps though I thought, clearly erroneously, that they may be making the midcaps too.

    Does this mean Star are no longer doing their Revolution series of realcaps or is the Green Label tag only applicable to PMags?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding

    no idea have not heard/read anything, all there existing lines still seem to be in place looks more like an addition line

    its a bit strange as only last week you had this from magpul ...
    Magpul PTS: New Product line (MOE)
    New from Magpul PTS, MOE (Magpul Original Equipment). News courtesy of Sam, be sure to check Read More for even more info:

    Dear Sirs

    We are proudly announced that Magpul PTS is going to launch a new product line for airsoft and training - Magpul Original Equipment (MOE).

    MOE is a new product line with low cost and high quality for airsoft and training weapon. Please find the attached introduction for your reference.

    The MOE Pistol Grips have now been brought into production, I will keep you update for further information

    Regards

    Sam

    may be there both the same lines under different names?? or two completely independent lines by magpul just have to wait and see


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    The MOE gear has a line for RS parts too. I'd say it's more a case of Magpul PTS making copies of everything that Magpul do with slightly lower grade materials. I'd hedge a bet that Star approached Magpul about the realcaps, rather than the other way around. Star seem to be the only people interested in making realcaps these days, so it would make sense for them to jump on the bandwagon that these PMags will surely create for themselves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    i was unaware that the moe also contained real steel version, just had to look it up on some US site, looks like the green line is only for airsoft


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    I was looking at their MOE gear for a while in RS and considered ordering some of it until I found out they intended to duplicate everything via PTS anyway.
    Hopefully they'll release all parts in the full range of colours. It'd be nice to get their OD and DE stuff too, as opposed to just black. The FG stuff isn't too bad either but it seems a tad bright to use without another colour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    hears hoping, maybe they will even get round to doing airsoft versions of the stocks again, possible even there new UBR stock.............


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Well the CTR is fairly popular and easily obtainable given the price (I've got two of them in front of me right now). The PRS was always going to be pricey but they might make one with lower grade polymer since the recoil/vibration resistance isn't as high a priority. They'll probably do the same with the UBR eventually.
    Am I the only one not really a fan of the UBR? I really preferred the M93b stock to the UBR.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    have to agree i do like the 'industrial' feel and look of the m93b have two of them myself one for my star m4 eod project (know that was a pain to get hold of)but i would not say no to the UBR thought


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Nor would I, but it's about the only Magpul stock I wouldn't be willing to pay above €100 for. I could find my way to buying a PRS stock alright, if I was building a platform to use it, like some sort of DMR. But I'm too fond of the CTR and (if I can get one) the M93b to bother with a high price, RS UBR.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Just got an email reply from ebaybanned about these. I'm sure they're just as sick of my constant requests for information about when they're releasing as I am about their constant fobbing me off.
    I asked them simply when will they have stock and they said, yup, you guessed it:

    "About one month
    Jesse ^_^"

    Now call me sceptical, paranoid or whatever you want, but that's what they told me about the original order of PMags they showed as stock on the website 3 months back. It's also what they told me about the flip-aside mounts about 4 months back.
    In short, if anyone sees these magazines for sale anywhere else, can they let me know? I do want them and I'm rather sick to death of waiting.

    Apparently bitching and moaning can work...

    Paul from Ebaybanned just emailed me to say the PMags are in stock now and ready for sale. Didn't specifiy how many of each type he had but I'm ordering both anyway.
