Mag-pod PMAG floor plate

[gunrunner]

Just wondering if any of you guys have seen these. Looks like an interesting concept. Costa's endorsing it, at least it's licensed.

Well, I know I do just fine without one. I really don't see the need or usefulness of this...but if it makes someone feel better then go for it.

I was thinking more competition than tactical. I personally never rest on the mag, so it wouldn't do me a damn bit of good. But for three gun or something, removing the bi-pod for these would be a great weight and maneuverability advantage.

If this slaps on the bottom of the mag. For a semi-supported shooting position, then wouldn't you have to buy like 20 to make it feasible for competition/combat?

Pretty interesting. For $22/3 I might try them out when they come out.

I suppose, if that's your load out. I don't know any three gun or competition shooters that carry 20 mags at once. I think it said 22$ for a three pack.

Thank you flasko. for a minute there I thought I was gonna get for sharing something I simply thought was interesting.

I think it's a decent idea. I really don't see a downside other than maybe causing feed issues if you put a ton of down pressure on it.

 

[smokey]

Ehhh, doesn't seem needed. If the target isn't at an elevation to perfectly match the angle of the magpod, you still have to just teeter-totter the mag on the rear or front edge...making it a big waster of money compared to just resting it on the mag....and that's assuming you're resting it on flat enough ground for it to be useful anyway. theoretically, putting lots of upward pressure on the mag is bad for reliable feeding....although pmags generally run well regardles. I dunno, just see this as a waste of money.

Purely hypothetical. Figured the serious competition guys would have a bag o'mags to just grab from during competition. As opposed to reloading in between matches.

You could be right. Hell I don't know. Just thought it was neat. Maybe one of three gun shooters will weigh in.

Layman's logic would seem to dictate that the usefulness of this floor plate is extremely limited compared to the regular mag pull plate. I can only see this being of use at the range or in competition – a controlled environment.

And even then....not of much use at all.

hate to be a party pooper but to make that mod you will have to be out of state no?

I imagine it works on 20 rounders as well.

 

[niftyvt]

I dont really see it as a mono pod but I do think it looks like a good general base plate extension or alternative to magpuls ranger plates.

 

[sailskidrive]

In the Service they taught us not to use the mag as rest as it can affect feeding... of course things have changed now like digital camo and you can marry your buddy.

 

[hvymax]

Looks useless to me. I can teeter totter on the mag already. The pop out foregrip bipod would be far more useful.

 

[04RWon]

Good concept, my gf who mainly likes shooting from a bench could benefit from this.

 

[kohburn]

i think the design would be better if it was arched instead of flat - IE a more stable teeter totter

"...because Bi-Pods are so....OLD FASHIONED"


...yep...and far more effective than a high heeled shoe floor plate for your mag...
