DecReg_Jupiter Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I emailed magpul about the PTS mags and where i could get them. In the reply email I found out this Dear Bryan, How are you? Thanks for your interest in our products. Please be advised that Magpul PTS magazine has been discontinued. Our airsoft version PMAG will be launched in coming June. Please feel free to contact me if you have any question. Regards Samuel Lam Manager Magpul Professional Training and Simulation Division I searched and didnt see any news on this. I hope this is news to other people besides myself. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 that's good news! I hope there will be low/midcaps. Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Orca had mentioned to me that Magpul PTS were aiming at making them midcaps. Magpul PTS was under the impression that their original standard capacity PTS mags with Ranger Plates failed because they were standards. To be honest, I think they failed because they had that big huge Magpul PTS trademark on the side, not because they were standard vs. midcaps. Personally, I would have bought them if they didn't have the trademark on the side... well that and that they were over priced. Hopefully the price of these won't suck. That and they HAVE to FEED correctly... everytime. Link to post Share on other sites
Agent47 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 D00d! FN SCAR or HK416 + PMAG = ub3r 1337 sechs Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Like previously mentioned if they dont feed then they wont sell. I really hope G&P isnt making them as G&P magazines are garbage. Im crossing my finger that they contracted with MAG to make these magazines. If they did then we can all expect great things. Link to post Share on other sites
eel one [COE] Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The old PTS mags where fine in capacity and external design. But the BB retaining latch was to short. This design flaw was/is easy to fix, but never the less time consuming when you have like 10-12 units. I'm a little sad that the Pmags will be mid caps, as danish milsim rules state that only magasines with a maximum capacity of 80 bb's can be used. I hope they will be easy to modify to accommodate this rule. I also hope the mags will be single stacked as they have less feeding issues than those double stacked mid caps available at the moment.

Hvy gear Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just a note, I have NEVER had a problem with G&P mids. Out of the 12 I've had which include both MP5 and M4/M16 mags they have always fed in CA, G&P, Marui, and JG guns. It just seems to be luck with these things and as for externals, you can't really beat em'. Link to post Share on other sites

Angry Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 These will sell seriously well if they feed properly. Like Magsz said, lets hope Magpul have done their research and are getting MAG to produce them. Link to post Share on other sites
TXP Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 D00d! FN SCAR or HK416 + PMAG = ub3r 1337 sechs Unfortunately the PMAG don't fit the 416 - at least in Realsteel they don't, due to the different size and shape of the 416s magazine well compared to a standard AR15 lower.

Maple-Leaf Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Happy days, I'll take a fistful of midcaps in FDE. Fixed. Those would look so sweet feeding my GWS SIG 556 FDE. Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 These will probably be midcaps. They will probably not be G&P, at least form my last discussion with Sam on the subject. Keep in mind the outer PMAG airsoft bodies were shown at Shotshow 2008 already, Airsoft PMAG Body on far right. Airsoft PMAG floor plates in middle (Real ones only have the large oval hole) so the delay was mainly due to finding a insert for these. They will also probably not be MAG since MAG uses a full injection molded body instead fo an insert style of mechanism (Will rule out Star as well). My preference would by the 160 Midcaps by S.ARMS, but that's really wishful thinking on my end Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 lol Orca, if thats true ill be one stupidly happy camper! We can all cross our fingers, toes and other body parts! Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Considering Magpul PTS will be the exclusive manufacturer of the Airsoft PMAG, I a little surprised they did have the insert molding made themselves. That way they can ensure the quality will be high and the inserts work perfectly with the PMAG. The molding would only cost them $4000-5000, and the unit cost would be stupidly cheap. So long as they make their PMAGs feed reliably they could conceivably make their R&D and materials investment back very quickly and enjoy a nice tidy profit. Failing that, S.Arms would indeed be the ideal insert for this. Link to post Share on other sites
SigPro552 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've taken RS PMAGs and fitted them with airsoft internals. With a little lovin, they work just dandy in a SCAR SCAR w/ PMAGs looks way hot. Link to post Share on other sites
