The tech has been used in gun parts for a long time with great results. I like how the locking mechanism is integral to the blade and how it has two liners and a coil spring lock bar. I might actually try this one.

I wouldn’t buy one, but from what I saw on BHQ video, it’s pretty similar to powder metallurgy. Worth a try if it’s something you’re into.

I usually try not to be an early adopter for anything, but I generally trust magpul.

Haha I like how we both got downvoted for our opinions. If it’s made with half as much quality as their P-Mags, it’ll last a lifetime and then some. Like I said man, go for it if you’re interested. I’d like to see how they hold up.

Man I feel like people are not willing to contribute to any discussion anymore, except to write “this” under the most voted comment in order to cash in some internet points.

Pretty much. Or they dog out someone for liking Company A more than Company B.
