Too expensive...
Ill still probably buy some but jesus man, those are extremely expensive... Brings me back to the days of having to buy 30 dollar TM standards if i wanted to run with a realistic round count. -------------------- Wasted__youf: "seriously, who *fruitcage* cares! Go get laid."

I only pay $17 plus tax for my P-Mags. It would be cheaper to buy some bulk mids and shove the internals into real P-Mags. |

I agree to a certain extent.
We pay more for airsoft parts because of the scale of the economy. There are far less airsoft pmags made than real pmags. Also, making an airsoft pmag is probably more complex than making a real pmag since it has more parts. Having said that, twice the cost? Thats a hell of a markup especially considering im 99% sure that these magazines arent even made out of polymer like the real mags, merely ABS which is a total bummer. -------------------- Wasted__youf: "seriously, who *fruitcage* cares!

That really drives me up the wall when US retailers who get items first think its ok to charge a stupid markup for things.

Even with the exchange rate the way it is I wouldn't pay that for a single mag.

It would be cheaper to buy some bulk mids and shove the internals into real P-Mags. "Custom made". If your can do it - do it and sell. For just $17... or...? Everyone want %%! But, i'm agree... ~200% it's not good. Anyway, photo is good. It's look pretty cool. QUOTE (davidson @ Jul 24 2008, 09:17 AM) No clear window on the side to see my bb count? No thanks. I guess it's not a "Maglevel PMAG"... It's a Standart PMAG. =) Magpul Standart PMAG Magpul Maglevel PMAG Maybe Airsoft G.I. don't know WELL Magpul products or their names... Or Magpul don't ever made Maglevel... =) This post has been edited by rusTORK: Jul 24 2008, 06:39 PM -------------------- KWA\Prime GLOCK 18C | TM\Guarder Desert Eagle .50AE | KSC\SD USP .45 Tactical | WA\G&P M4A1 | KWA\G&P Ingram M11A1 | TM\Guarder SIG-Sauer P226R | KSC MP9 | TM Five-seveN USG

you are paying the licensing fees, lawyer fees, etc.... We know there are knock offs out there, but it is not worth it to get in trouble on making couple bucks.

No offense to you guys personally as I'm sure this is mostly Magpul's fault, but regardless of the reasons, that's an absolutely absurd price for a plastic midcap mag. -------------------- |

Especially when MAG produces something that works better for 1/4 the cost, if that.
People will buy this, however, because it looks 'gucci.' -------------------- Army strong. Kind of. More like Army Mostly Motivated.

Both AirsoftGI and AEX seem to have dropped their prices a bit. $28.95
Can anyone recall how much the estimated price was listed at ebayBanned.com? -------------------- Photos: My Photo Album
