M&P15-22 Mag development

Like Majorlk Stated, I have not heard of the stock S&W mag bending from anyone. Not saying its not possible just depends on how your maintaining the magazine. The structure of the stock mag is strong and durable. Do you have any pics available for us to see?

I don't have any pics as of yet, but will try to get some in the next day or so. When I can find some time to shoot. As far as maintaining the mags, it has done it from day 1. Out of the box. As a little side note I did have to send the whole thing back after after the 1st day. I would fail to shoot after 2-3 rds. After doing this several times I found that if I took the mag out cycled the safety/fire switch a time or two that it would shot 2-3 rds again and then we would have to start the process all over again. I put 15-20 rds down range and called it quits. Called S&W they instructed me send it in. When they sent it back all that it said was they updated it. Not sure what part of it they meant so I called, they gentleman I spoke to could tell me know more that what I had read. All I know is that I have not had any of the problems return. That is except the mags concerns. Which I guess I need to call them about this, since it is a real pain to have to fiddle with the loading of each and every mag. Who knows may I do need a lesson.
 
To show how excited teenagers get on the internet I believe they usually post something like this

Haha, great to hear the wait is almost over!
 
wow 3 different round counts? im in for some hi caps! if it holds 50 rounds and is less than $50 than im in for 6-10. if it cost more than $50 than im in for 2-5 depending on price and ease of loading.


thanks for your efforts and please do a forum group buy! when you give more finalized details ill try to put the word out locally to 15-22 owners that dont frequent the internet
 
Update: Did not receive last quote today again. I will move forward with the one of the two that I have. I figure its taken this long for this company to provide a quote I dont want to know what it would take to make it. It's been a busy week for me at work sorry for getting updates to you so late. I want these completed already I'm getting impatient.

I can tell you this it will be less than $50 per mag based on the quotes I received.
 
By the looks of it you're gonna need A LOT of magazines to keep up with the demand. I'm also very interested and have been following this thread for quite some time. Hope the manufacturer's can pop 'em out quick!

Sounds like they aren't interested in your business; write 'em off!

Seeing the response I've received on this thread I may run into demand problems. Each mold makes 2 magazines I may need to make 3 molds to push 6 mags per 3 minutes to keep up with demand if it gets to that point.

I sent the manager an email yesterday letting him know I was done with them. He emailed me back saying they have been very busy and he apologizes for not responding quickly. 2 weeks is long enough to provide a quote.

Don't get over extended.

Base your production tooling expenditures on what you think demand will be after the initial surge. Over capacity simply drives the long term cost of the product up....

It's better to add more capacity later if demand is still high than to have tooling sitting unused.
 
I've been following this and I am excited. I've been working on some magazine designs with my 3D printer, but this is way cooler.
 
You have all the money I can afford to give you :) providing they are reliable.

I agree with your statement 100%. I will test the final product and so will 5 Beta testers before I will make a groupbuy for them. I already spent the last 3 months engineering and 3d prototyping the mags to make sure they function. I have also used and tested 3 different springs for each design.

I plan on one mold right now for each design until demand picks up then I will have another. I dont plan on over extending myself or wasting more money than I need to.
