New PMAG D60

-Z/28- · Jan 14, 2015

Magpul is teasing us before shot show. They've released a video showing of the latest PMAG, the D60 60rd drum.

I hope it comes in cheaper than the speculated price in the article, but it looks cool; nice and compact.

I have a 50rd drum for my ar10

$219.95 when it comes to market?

Let's hope they get the bugs out of them.

$130.

Probably like a hundred bucks street. I'd be in for one, but I wish they'd get the quad stack out.

2 pmags are like $25 at most and hold the same amount of rounds.

Plus they actually fit in your mag pouches. I don't know where the hell you'd stuff a drum.

Maybe Surefire will lower the price on their 60rd quad stack - that would be a nice outcome from this.

BINGO!

But then the Islamic Barbarian Zombie horde could take you down during the mag change.

2 USGI mags with Magpul followers are like $15 and fit in your pouches AND hold the same amount of rounds!

I have those and the regular steel military contract mags. Unless I had an NFA rifle or a slidefire, I see no particular advantage besides perhaps cool factor.

Yup a gimmick piece that is sure to sell well for them.

The end of the world folks are going to suck these up quick.

$130 list is a steal for an AR drum. Have you priced a X-products or Beta drum? 2x that.

iH8DemLibz · Jan 14, 2015

But that 130 will buy 7 thirty round magazines that will carry 210 rounds or 3.5 times the amount of ammo.

Oh I know how much drums normally run. That's why I don't own one. I also think even $130 is a bit much. They should be like $60-70 tops imo. Still this is the most consumer accessible drum option to hit the market.

more interested in the Remy 700 chassis/stock.

It's not always about the money. Else we'd all be using Tapco mags in our HiPoints

I have plenty of 20s and 30s from magpul and larue but I also have one of the 40s from magpul, a cmag 100 rd drum and plan on the 60 and 100 from surefire.

This only makes sense that I will, at some point, own one of these too.

Don't care about the practicability, it's my money, lol.

My Beta drum came with its own pouch and carries nicely, even loaded with with 100x 125gr .300 blackout

MattTheGunslinger · Jan 14, 2015

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the (tactical) purpose of a 60rd mag/drum to lay down maximum firepower at initial contact, not to carry them as standard mags? Why the hate? Mag pouch compatibility doesn't bother me. Once expended, it will be tossed in a dump pouch. I believe drums tend to be more reliable than the quad stack design. I may be wrong though. If I was a soldier and had access to this i would be pretty happy.

Plus it's super cool! I'll be getting one!! :party29:

Why not, I'd buy one.
