[outkastsl]

I'm too scared to have one!!!  I'll waste soooo much ammo.  lol

[imschur]

[unforgiven]

Curses odd man out,rat's :(

[jeffreyC]

I'm conflicted about buying one of these.

On the one hand three Magpul PMags will hold more ammo, and cost a lot less.

And I'm a frugal sort about most things.

On the other hand the very existence of these must offend anti-gun people and that is a good thing.

[Robocop1051]

I'm scared of the cost to load it.

[Madhouse]

I'm scared of the cost to load it.

Right??!?!?

[Matt.Cross]

I'm scared of the cost to load it.

Loading it is far cheaper than emptying it...  <laughs>

[telluwhat]

Wow. I want to have it "just in case" but can you imagine how much it would weigh full? OMG Then there is the cost. PMAGS change out quickly and are much cheeper. Then again there is the cool factor... bottom line I must wait. I will  wait. Oh that is cool. Sure am glad I don't have plastic. Nice. Haha!

[fr3db3ar]

My neck hurts just thinking about the weight.

[jeffreyC]

3 pounds empty

4.9 pounds full

I may need a lighter rifle

[unforgiven]

Gun bearer.. <lmao>  Tripod with wheels <laughs>  Helium ballons :cookoo:

[telluwhat]

I can't stop thinking about that drum! When I first got my 308 I actually was disappointed I could not find a mag that held more than 20 rounds.... so I got a bunch of them. Will likely get more down the road. Now this comes out.  /me does Homer droole

[BLKSHEEP]

I just don't need to be that cool  <dontknow>,13 Pmags or 1, 50 round jam master?

[survivalshop]

Ok , who's going to be the taste tester on this one , man up  , some one has to take one for the team !

[jeffreyC]

Mine will get here Friday

[unforgiven]

:banana:

The Big Brown Truck of Happiness came by today.

First impressions:

Well made (I'm a machinist and picky)

One small thing so far, need to hold the mag release in while inserting it, there is no bevel on the left side like a normal mag would have.

Balance is not affected.

No range report yet.

I can see that I need to step up my workouts, but I knew that already.

[Madhouse]

jeffreyC, if you can, I would love to know to weight loaded

[telluwhat]

I am interested in how hard it is to load the last few rounds. How much does it hang down from the rifle compared to a 20 round mag?

[jeffreyC]

I have not weighed it but it feels like they were telling the truth about it weighing 4.9 pounds loaded. 

Scale needs batteries and I'm not swiping them from my sights  <laughs>

Sticks down 3/8 of an inch lower than a PMag

From about 35 rounds on it gets noticeably harder, but still not too bad.

[telluwhat]

;D sweet I want one, maybe two! LOL

[telluwhat]

Would that fit in a ammo can, either 30mm or 50mm if needed?

[imschur]

all gone
