magpul release 60round drums for the AR and probably AK

[KBScobravert]

I saw the release on FB. Shorter than a 30rd pmag. Retail listed around $129 if I remember right.

Very nice, I have a couple of the X products 50rnd drums and they run really well. I will pick up a couple of these for sure if the reviews are good.

Oh and in before cj "that looks heavy"

They never did follow through with the quad-stack:

I suspect the quad stack had issues with jamming caused by having 2-3 followers and springs. Loading it may also be an issue

This looks awesome. And you know it will work because Magpul.

These should be cool once they come down below $10.

Looks like they've got a lot of "cool" stuff coming out like their AK furniture whose video I find pretty damn funny. I especially like the picture of Putin riding a bear and the specialized advisers



Also digging the Remington 700 furniture as well as the video. Very cool.

Are those actually quad stacks and made of plastic? I havent had any hands on time on them

I believe they are quad but metal mags.

Interesting. Pretty cool. But 60rds? Why 60? Surefire 60rds are cheaper, lighter, and.... better? Either way I'm on board, the price is too much, but fuck it, I'll ruin an upper with them.

I thought the surefires were three stacks, and they are metal like Jose said.

As for the AK furniture.. kind of disappointed. Why couldn't they just make a modern standard fixed stock like they did on the 870 model? I'll never buy that shit, that's for sure. But wood is the reason why I like AK's, remove the wood and they're boring, imho.
