Magpul Continues to Step Up

Postby river_boater on Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:08 pm

From their facebook page:

Magpul wrote:We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents' ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them.

Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue.

Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.

Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement.

Wonder if they'll make that offer available to residents of any state with impending magazine bans in the works, or just states with bans that have passed at least one house or senate?

They mentioned expanding the initiative past Colorado when they could.

Let me clarify, I was speculating if their criteria for immediate shipment was a magazine bill has been introduced in that state, or if we would need to wait until a mag ban is imminent to pass.

I would rather the people who might lose their right to purchase pmags very soon would get them first and the rest of us can wait a little while longer. Props to magpul !

Why? Do you intend on having them buy mags for you? If so, you're a terrible person.

The ban bills in Colorado have a grandfather clause- so this is a good deal for them. Most of the other states i have heard with these bills- including MN- have no grandfather clause in their bills- so most of us already have enough mags that would make us criminals- without buying 10 more.

Unfortunately, Magpul is still selling mags to state governments that have bans in place. New York for example.
