Oh Lawwwwwwwwd *testifies*:
Magpul has always known the way to my heart. It’s not up on their website yet, but the buzz is that this 60-rounder will be about $130 (not bad not bad).
I’m looking forward to seeing torture tests on this thing… those are always fun to watch.
Thoughts?

This could be a legitimate game changer for SAW gunners. It feels like an eternity to get a new belt going under fire. You could use this to keep the gun going until you establish fire superiority and then go back to loading belts.
i hope they release it with the clear back like in this video
Twice more rounds, twice more liberty, twice more fun !
This would be tits if select-fire wasn’t prohibitively expensive, or legal for us non-stamp peons. That’d be bitchin to buy an M249.
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two words…. Recoil Rail. hahaha
I’ll take two!
10x the price for 2x the capacity? No thanks. A fun novelty for semi-autos if you are the type that has extra cash they like to burn or or flush down the toilet.
Is it lighter than just carrying two of their 40 rounders? Does it save space over two 40 rounders?
Uhh BP’d been done X Products been selling them for awhile. http://www.xproducts.com/
What ever happen to the 60 round Magpul Quadstack Mag?
Surefire beat them to it.
Yeah, I’d be more impressed if Magpul worked the kinks out of their polymer quad stack mag. Drum mags are a nice idea in theory but in practice they are bulky, awkward to carry, and more prone to jamming. Remember that the US army ditched the drum mag for the Thompson when going from the M1921A1 to the M1 and M1A1 Sub Machine gun.

Maybe 70 years ago that theory on drum magazines held true. With advanced production technology, and manufacturing we’ve been able to eliminate the problems that drums were prone to. The X Products X-15 holds 50 rounds and is 1.5″ shorter than a 30 round stick magazine making the prone position very comfortable. Also with modern ceramic paint we’ve elminated the need for any lubricants. Our product is made of aluminum so it holds tolerances much better than plastic and that’s how you eliminate a lot of problems with shifting of geometry.
Will this mag work for my Smith and Wesson AR-15 MP Sport? If so I’m no question gonna buy this
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The part that goes into the magwell won’t be different than Magpul’s pmag!
