    Default Bye bye PMAG and others?

    Not sure how true this is. Havent seen anything official.

    The Army has ordered that soldiers may use only government-issued magazines with their M4 carbines, a move that effectively bans one of the most dependable and widely used commercial-made magazines on today’s battlefield.

    The past decade of war has spawned a wave of innovation in the commercial soldier weapons and equipment market. As a result, trigger-pullers in the Army, Marines and various service special operations communities now go to war armed with commercially designed kit that’s been tested under the most extreme combat conditions.

    If there as many PMAGs out there as the article implies, it will be years before they all get rounded up and disposed of, especially since any smart BC/CC will drag his feet as long as possible to keep them in use, or like usual, troops will have their crap ones for display purposes while using the PMAG when it really matters
