Fuck, why do people actually like this company?
>ak stocks that snap the fuck off if you look at them wrong
>ar15 pmags that hang up on the follower when trying to lock a bolt back
>unexceptional ak mags, can't into steel feed lips
>meh furniture
The only thing they have going for them is the're a bro tier company but it just doesn't cut it anymore.
>>29436796
They're MBUS Pro, BAD lever, and M-LOK systems are great.
>>29436802
>BAD lever
>great
case in point
Can you substantiate those claims?
>>29436796
Their stocks are awesome
Only the gen 3 pmags have issues, and that's only if you're an autist that canseat't seat mags properly
>>29436796
Meh. They came on my AR-15 and they seem adequate. Worst thing is there's no spot for the quick detach sling on the 1st gen MOE adjustable stock I got. Just gonna drill a detent to detain the hardware and put a washer on it, should be fine.
>>29436796
I like their grips. Some of their ar stocks as well. I use pmags and have never had a problem maybe you should just quit limp wristing your magazines
>>29436796
> ar15 pmags that hang up on the follower when trying to lock a bolt back
~400 rounds and haven't had this happen yet. How do you recreate the problem?
>>29436796
the zhukov AK stocks seem pretty good, it held up to a lot in torture tests and only broke when they drove a car over it when it was in the folded position
>>29436796
Name a stronger adjustable LOP stock than the UBR.
>>29436796
I have never had any of the problems you claim to be having.
I like Magpul because before magpul, especially MOE, If you wanted to customize your AR, you could either pay a reasonable amount for Tapco trash or pay a ton of money for VLTOR or LMT. Magpul made stuff that I wanted to use, was better than what I had, and that I could actually afford. I can't afford gucci shit, it may as well not exist.
As far as I'm concerned, if they didn't create the market for lower-middle range priced AR accessories, they certainly were the company that best demonstrated the market's potential. Many of Magpul's competitors would not exist without Magpul demonstrating that the market was viable.
Also, Pmags weren't originally meant to be the be-all and end-all of magazine designs. People felt they were better than USGI in the sense that they had a constant internal curve, and the feedlips would crack instead of bend, so you could visually identify when the magazine needed to be replaced. They're still disposable, replaceable items, it was just exaggeration and memery that made people believe otherwise.
>>29436796
I'll take your b8.
>the stocks are solid
>grips are comfy
>slings are gr8
>Mlok is growing in popularity despite what /arg/ wants to believe
> literally never had any issue with Pmags
> priced competitively
But that's just my opinion/anecdotes.
If you don't like them go buy BCM or some other good shit; why do you care what others have on their rifles?
>>29436810
This.
The bad lever is the fucking shit! But even the bad lever fits terribly on mine.
>>29436796
I wrote an email to magpul suggesting 10+ round Glock 43 mags that took about 2 hours to right.
The next day I get an email back.
>Dear anon,
>At this time there are no plans to make any other glock magazines in a different caliber.
I left out his contact info but that is literally all he wrote back.
All the fucker had to do was lie and say will will consider your suggestion but instead I got that.
That's why I will never buy from fagpul again.
>>29436796
I just like their MIAD grip and my CTR and ACS stocks...
My PMags are my range mags and last resort mags. I've pretty much switched over to Lancers and USGI as my go to mags at this point.
Magpul used to be great, my problem with them now is their offering of budget tier lines and trying to make too many different products.
Keep it simple, keep it good. I don't want budget shit. I want good shit and I'm willing to pay for it.
>>29437119
It took you two hours to write because you're illiterate.
What the hell did you even include in the email?
You realize brevity is very important when you're making unsolicited requests to businesses, right?
>>29437119
>Magpul makes Glock 17 mags
>Asks about Glock 43 mags
>in a different caliber
Yeah, I'm done with them. Especially since they're lying out of their ass about their AK mags not needing steel feed lips.
>>29437119
>being upset someone didn't just give you a bullshit answer
Kill yourself you sperg.
>>29437119
So you would rather him lie to you? I don't understand how a succinct "no" is less desirable than a bullshit story, but then again I'm not retarded either
>>29437138
I included research on the demand for said product given the number of base plates sold for the G43 and how nobody has made an actually extended mag. I also included dimensions for what the product would end up being.
The time it took me to write it had nothing to do with it.
I'm tempted to prototype my own and take it to another company.
>>29436802
>BAD lever
>And other unnecessary pieces of trinket to barbie up my rifle with
>>29437155
>>29437203
Its not about the lie so much as it is about courtesy.
His answer straight up told me that no shits were given.
>>29436837
Anon, this is a troll thread.
>>29437232
What the fuck did you want him to say?
>Dear Anon.
>I am so terribly sorry that we don't have any current plans to make your desired Glock magazine. I sincerely hope this doesn't make you cry too much tonight, should you desire, we can come over to your house and gentlely coo you to sleep.
The dude said it in a completely reasonable manner.
>No, we don't currently have any plans.
You are the epitome of being a little bitch.
>>29437270
Don't be so angry senpai
>>29437232
It sounds like you're just booty blasted that you put a lot of effort into something and that magpul didn't appreciate it. Rather than whining like a bitch, do the American thing and either
a) make it yourself and sell it
Or
b) sell the design it to another company, knowing your product is making money magpul won't get
make sure to give us all discount codes when you finally do what need to do, fag.
>>29437119
>right
Yeah, I probably would have skimmed through/not read your 200 word, single paragraph, no punctuation drivel as well.
>>29437221
Tell me another way to lock back the bolt without switching your grip. Oh wait, that's because you fucking can't do it without one. It's a perfectly functional and well designed addition to an AR.
>>29436796
Theres a reason /k/ called them Fagpul for years
>>29437287
This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to design and make my own even if other companies don't want it.
On the side of the mag I design it will say "FUCK MAGPUL" in big bold letters.
>>29437426
Is it because mag rhymes with fag and /k/ is about as witty as bag of steamed carrots?
If you have a problem with magpul just stop buying their shit, that's what I did. I'm not going to waste my time complaining about them.
>>29436796
Pmags that hang up on the follower when trying to lock a bolt back
You must be a special kind of retarded to fuck up a Pmag. They're universally considered *the* most reliable AR mag made.
>>29437434
I'd buy it
>>29437536
Well looks like it's a done deal now. I will post the prototype on /k/ when I finish it.
I will have 2 sku's. One for "Fuck Magpul" and one blank.
I will make the "Fuck Magpul" mags a lot cheaper.
>>29436796
PMAGs are exceptional in every way.
Also the Glock PMAGs are good.
And finally, one does not simply insult Magpul's glorious polymers!
>>29437119
>two hours to right
I bet it was a fucking masterpiece, holy shit bubba.
>>29436919
Nah they're flimsy at the joint.
No way around it, it's flimsy. Especially in cold weather.
One mediocre product does not put too big a stain on the company though.
>>29437536
I don't even own a single stack glock and I'd buy that shit.
>>29437498
This. Op is a b8 cock mongler.
>>29437580
2 hours is an exaggeration. I was implying that more time was spent then on your typical email.
Every single one of their fucking screws is completely filled with loctite. I can't stand it. Good shit though.
Their ar15 pmags work well. I go out of my way to buy from them because of what they did for my state.
What's with so many people complaining about AR mags not seating right? I thought a firm tap on the mag bottom gets it in no problem? Or am i doing it wrong?
Butt hurt email guy here.
Even though I hate magpul now, their ar pmags are probably the greatest of all time. Anyone who complains about their pmags must have something going on with their rifle or just got a bad mag.
>>29437718
they're retarded and you and me are sane, well adjusted people who tap their mags for good measure.
>>29437718
Some people don't realize you can't gently seat a fully loaded mag into an AR on a closed bolt. These people usually don't actually own an AR and shot their buddy's once at the range.
>>29437811
Why would you load on a closed bolt? The only reason to do that would be on your first mag right?
Daily reminder that PMAGs are banned by US Military because they don't fill the standards.
>>29437910
Why don't they?
>>29437910
>>29437941
Because they're not GI mags.
I remember literally everyone bitching about it and the ban getting overturned though.
>>29437910
Because at the time Gen 2 Pmags weren't working well with the M27 that the muhreens wanted.
>they banned my pmags before deployment and didn't even issue us the fucking M27's.
> I wasn't going to get one anyway because we have boots for that
>>29437975
ban is more of a battalion order (for the unit that runs the ranges) that says you can't qualify with them. The long story is that they don't fit the IAR because euro's can't gun to our specifications.
The short of the story is the ban was specific to the IAR and only the IAR but the military being what it is a bunch of senior staff got a wild hair up their collective asses and said it applies to everything.
qualled for 4 years with Pmags and not a single issue
this is how it is for the muhreens at least
>>29436953
Ergo F93
>Anti-Magpul
Please, OP, don't go full retard. Magpul isn't 10/10 godtier but they're a solid 8/10 and aren't afraid to innovate and take risks other companies don't want to. On that alone they've opened the door to the polymer firearm accessory industry almost single handed.
>Pmags are the best mags out there, tied with Hex, and with the variety they will fit anything no issue that accepts AR mags
>Stocks are great, except the Zhukov. Great idea, but the hinge is weak and will easily break
>AK and Glock mags, I agree, are trash but they're fixing the AK mags soon and when they do, it will most likely be the mag of choice for 7.62x39 AK owners. They'd be the only real competition to bakelite/steel mags
>Rest of the furniture is decent. Pmag grips, vertical grips, AR stocks, slings, angled grips are all top-tier especially for the price
Stop hating. Every company has flaws, don't act like Magpul has some competitor that blows them out of the water
>>29438230
He probably only hates them because he reads threads on /k/ where people hate them and /k/ fucking hates everything
Magpul's AK products are dogshit. Magpuls AR products are breddy gud.
I have 1 gen2 AR pmag and 3 gen3 pmags, all work great, no issues. I also have 2 of their AK mags, no issues either. Granted, I'm new to AKs so maybe I'm missing some nuances, but they work in my Arsenal just fine, easier to load than my Tula bakelite mag as well.
No issues with their ACS-L stock or MOE fore end on my middy AR either.
Magpul rocks.
>>29438166
It's not as strong. It's the licensed clone of the magpul 93b stock.
It's close, but not as strong, design wise and materials wise.
>>29438388
That's a nice gun
>>29438431
Thank you my man.
>>29437000
What upper is that? I want it.
I like the MOE rifle stock so far, just waiting on my modified handguard set.
>>29436796
Looks like a troll thread but I'll respond for the newbs that are going to read it anyway
only thing magpul can be guilty of is cornering the market for cheap aftermarket accessories that are also of decent quality. For the longest time, P-mags were better than mil-spec standard issue aluminum mags. As for furniture they are generic now that they are so popular but it works and is wide spread.
With the exception of their pistol grips for AR-15's, AKM's and shotgun stock I really don't use their furniture as I'm a Key mod guy and I prefer aluminum free floats. or use Midwest industries two piece aluminum key mod hand guard for classic military AR-15's with delta ring and front fixed site post.
>>29438540
This, unless your doing a camp perry compeition, the Magpul A2 stock is nice cheap replacement that has more functionality and contoured better.
>>29438601
I like the compartment so I can stash my toolkit and some cleaning stuff in it so if I ever need to clean my gun at the range or adjust anything its not rolling around in my range box and I know where it all is.
>>29437468
Kek it's sad but true
>>29437000
Like your light, just say mine up. Got that magpul maglite look, going on.
>>29437863
admin reloads where you leave 1 in the chamber and insert new full mag
Since this is a magpul thread: what is the reason to buy gen 2 pmags over the newer gen 3 and vise versa?
I can buy both at almost the same price so I'm wondering which one to get.
>>29438877
I use Gen3 Pmags to identify the magazines I load with blanks. I occasionally shoot blanks at my retarded, annoying neighbors upstairs, hoping one day they'll die from heart attacks.
>>29437420
>>29439061
>shooting blanks at your neighbors isn't normal
>but on /k/ it is
>>29438877
gen2 was designed and optimized for the ar15
gen3 was designed to fit multiple guns
then theres the minor price difference
>>29439061
kek
>>29439061
all my wut
>>29439183
gotcha. m2 it is then.
>>29439061
>because hitting the ceiling with a broom is so old fashioned
Lancer > Magpul
>>29439253
What is the reason NOT to buy lancers over magpul?
>muh price
I see lancers for only $4 more than a gen 3 pmag everywhere.
>>29439347
for general range or training use magpul is just fine and it's a bonus that they are so cheap. if you want probably the best out there for mags get the lancer.
>>29439347
>>29439253
I am interested in this debate.
The lancers seem less durable, but i don't know.
>>29439372
>The lancers seem less durable, but i don't know.
They have steel feed lips
>>29439386
I mean from the side, like impacts or cracking. The plastic seems less durable to the likely stress my rifles might get, if they do get stressed (thrown/dropped, knocked against side of vehicle, knocked against anything in a rollover).
>>29439061
>>29439247
10/10
>>29439061
Gonna need to know more.
