Mags Were Shipped Today

[max]

My 15-22 mags that I ordered on Dec 27 were shipped today. I had almost forgot about them as they were to be a gift for a friend.

Congrats as I'm still waiting for mine

The ones I ordered on Dec 18 were shipped last Tuesday, and I got them Friday. They must have got in quite a few if they still have some to ship a week later.

S&W doesn't actually get finished mags from a 3rd party. They have the mag parts shipped to their factory in Springfield, Mass. for final assembly. I assume the parts are from Asia. They have a limited capacity for mag assembly so it could actually take many weeks to assemble mags for standing orders.

I posted in the other thread as well, S&W shipped me a package that is being delivered today. I think it is the two 25 round and two 10 round magazines I ordered

While I see a lot of guys saying they are receiving orders they placed in December..... I want to say I placed this order right about a month ago....I'll post again when I get home to see what is in the box

Thanks for the encouraging news on the mags. I'm a new gun owner in CO, the mag ban originally excluded rimfire and I found out a short time ago they put rimfire in the ban. Placed a order last week, just hoping to get them before the July 1 deadline. I did find a couple of 32 rounders (which I bought), but prefer the 25s.

Pending charge hit my card the week of 4/15, then dropped off again. Pending charge changed to processed last week, and I got them on 4/25. Ordered by phone on 4/01.

Where were you able to place orders from in the last week? I've been poking around so I could try my luck at getting a couple S&W mags before July 1 as well. Been able to get all the the larger than 15 mags I need except for these.

If you search the forums there are threads that pop up from time to time saying who has mags is stock

i placed an order for 5- 25 rounders about 3-4 weeks ago from s&w,112.00 delivered.guess i have a long wait,but in no big hurry.I'm just glad i'm not paying 65.00 plus per mag.

Just call S&W customer service and place your mag order over the phone. I ordered 4 - 10rd Longs and 2 - 10rd shorts on Feb 28. I received the 4 - 10rd longs 5 weeks later on 4/6. The 2 - 10rd short mags are still on backorder. Price is about $23/mag including shipping.

You should go ahead and sign up for notifications for these ProMags from Vantage Smith & Wesson - Tactical Vantage or anyone else how isn't gouging.
The ten round can easily be modified to a 32rnd and I have had good experience with mine

 

[2tango2]

The package I received yesterday contained the two 25 round magazines that I ordered over the phone from Smith last month

I still have four 10 round short magazines on b/o

Thank you for this info. I just ordered 2 of the 25 round mags. I know it's going to be a while, but I can wait. just wanted to be able to actually place the order.

 

[martymacfly]

Sweet! I called up S&W and they supposedly have the 10rd long mags in stock. My CC was charged immediately so hopefully those will be here in a few days and if I don't get the "regular" 25 rounders I can mod the 10s.

The lady on the phone was plenty helpful in making sure I knew I just had to drill out the pin. She was surprised the mags were listed as in stock.

There's really no need at all to drill out the pin to convert a 10rd long into a 25rd mag. Just follow these steps and you'll have a 25rd mag in 30secs or less:

1) Remove the baseplate and spring
2) Shine flashlight inside to locate pin
3) Place mag (mag lips down) on a folded towel that's on a hard surface
4) Insert long flat screwdriver into baseplate opening and rest screwdriver blade on pin
5) Firmly but gently strike the screwdriver handle about 3 times
6) Shake loose pin out of the mag case and reassemble.

You now have a 25rd magazine.

Just be careful you don't damage the feed lips, support it by the mag not the feed lips.

Agreed. I folded a bath towel 4 times to protect the mag lips. It doesn't take a hard strike to knock the pin out. Just gentle but firm and after 3 or so strikes the pin will fall out. Its just a small rolled pin that's easily bent with a flat screwdriver tip.

And u can buy the 10rd mags cheaper, lol. But u still end up with a 25rd mag when ur done. =-)

 

[martymacfly]

Thanks for the instructions guys.
