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!

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

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.

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.
