MidwestPX

Everything I have coming in is being allocated to limited capacity production. Once I'm clear of backorders, they'll be made available as regular magazines or rebuild kits. So, in a way, states with capacity limits are getting a leg up on everyone else as far as availability through me is concerned

I currently have 600 PMAGs here and 200 EMAGs with more on the way. I will be filling dealer backorders and flooding the state of New Jersey with PMAGs over the next couple of weeks. The wholesale backorder is currently 4K units deep. These mags will feature improvements that I've been working on during this period of shortage to bring you folks better quality magazines. I'll unveil what those improvements are when they start shipping. Stay tuned.

It increases tension which causes more powerful extraction.

The steel cased ammo is underpowered and causing the action to not cycle completely. Steel cased ammo is cheap stuff so it's generally loaded on the light side of spec. This causes it to not cycle completely in some guns depending on the gas port size, gas system length, action spring, and buffer combination.

I'm going to delay these until next week. I'm changing the block and moving to an injection molded design. This block should address the two most frequent complaints about my mags. First, the dust covers will snap on when loaded and second, in MOST rifles, they will load against a closed bolt. I cannot guarantee the latter however more mags will work with more rifles relative to the current block design.

I've got several hundred Magpul EMAGs coming this week which will all be allocated to limited capacity production. EMAGs are comparable to the windowed Gen2/MOE PMAG however feature a slick side design so no ribbing and they're designed to work with STANAG-compatible magwells in addition to the M4/AR15/M16. Preorders will not be taken for these mags however I will announce in this subforum when they are ready.

Aaaand we're live! http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?products_id=614

I should have them around 12:00-14:00 CST. They're my enhanced BCG but with a Nickel Boron coating done by WMD Guns. They'll be $219.95. I'll post again when they're live but I'm giving you guys advance notice.

Midwest PX Enhanced Only a handful in stock right now.

Aaaaand now in stock

I looked into modifying them but was not convinced the blocking method I was working with was robust enough for long term use. It got backburnered as demand for PMAGs continued to grow. Now my days are spent shipping lowers all over creation while I wait for more PMAGs to come in.

I haven't had a single PMAG come in for a very long time. The last batch I shipped was that case to RTSP. I was supposed to get more but nada. I am, however, doing conversion work for mags that are sent in and those are getting turned around pretty quickly. People just have to buy their own mags and have them shipped to me, order the conversion service and it's done.

if that's the case, probably wait on the Windham to come in. Or pick up one of my NiB that come in "soon". Probably a few weeks out still though. All the upgrades of my enhanced BCG plus a NiB finish rather than phosphating. If pricing holds, they should be $225 w/ free shipping.

Dump the AR-Stoner. Those are manufactured by SMI and are questionable at best. The 8620 bolt of the Gem State Armory BCG is less than ideal though not terrible. Any specs on the Fulton?

Sorry if I missed your email. It wasn't intentional but likely slipped through the cracks as I try to stay on top of everything from emails to calls to orders to aftersale support, etc. Anyhow, my apologies.

It's a weakness with any lower, really. I've seen aluminum lowers fail there when mortared to clear a bolt override malfunction. It's an area that NFA reinforced when they introduced improvements to the Plum Crazy design.

I've heard of a handful (less than five) of problematic lowers from customers who have purchased NFA lowers from me. Of those, only two required intervention by NFA. Since Jan. 1, I have sold nearly 5K of their lowers.

I was told two weeks ago to expect a shipment of them (not my entire PO for them but some) however nada so far.

BCM bolt is C158 and MPI/HPT. The JBO bolt is 9310 and MPI-only. 9310 is a more suitable material for making bolts than C158. The lack of HPT is a drag but not uncommon these days as vendors to do the HPT are few and far between. The JBO unit also has a few upgrades such as the one piece gas ring and perma-pin. I believe BCM BCGs are parkerized while the JBOs are phosphated.

JBO is a top notch outfit. Order with confidence. Good people running that store and they ship fast.

No. I don't think I've ever heard of BCGs being serialized.

9310 retains a more malleable core after case hardening relative to C158. This makes it more resistant to cracking.

No idea. But I still owe thousands to dealers before I start taking retail orders again. Yes, these are contract manufactured for Midwest PX however they are not stamped as such. The source of supply is confidential as I don't want other vendors jumping on my source and pushing my POs out of the way with larger orders. What I can tell you is these are manufactured by an outfit that makes BCGs for other vendors and are subassembled by another firm that does the same type of work for some of the biggest AR manufacturers. Installation of the upgraded extractor spring, KNS perma-pin, and McFarland gas ring are done in-house. I would too. I'm hoping to offer three different models within the next 4-6 weeks with this Enhanced model that was sold today as the middle of the road.

Would be nice if I could get mags to release at all.
