Hi guys,

It is been a long time since my last update. Finally I managed not only come back to the States to do this, but pull barely enough gun parts and ammo from the current market black hole to make it possible. This is the continue story that I started here with this link and this link. The past 2012 had been spent on waiting of visa,and relocatingof the family. The past tradgic event and the political environment definitely my the matter worse. luckily as I always has been,I got enough help to make it happen.

Really impressive, all around! 24 rounds of 7.62x39 out of a standard GI mag is also really cool.

Umm....

All in good time, -v-, all in good time! :D

In all seriousness though, we're trying to get it through development and into production as soon as is possible (meaning, as fast as we can do it without messing something up).

I can't tell you much about where we are in progress, mostly just because some important decisions have not been made final yet.

Here's what I /CAN/ tell you:

When I say 'production', I'm not talking about tooling up to make handfuls of magazines out of a garage. When this is finished, and ready for production, it's going to be a full-scale launch of a new company in this industry. Website, press releases, and most importantly of all, customer service.

Another thing I can tell you, this magazine is not going to be the only product that will be offered by this company. There are other things in development (things I /REALLY/ can't talk about yet), that we plan on introducing as part of a full product line.

That being said, we aren't going to delay anything just for the sake of printing a nice pretty multi-page catalog either, so provided that everything else is ready (shopping cart system, shipping department, etc. etc.), once we have the final, proven, working magazines, you WILL be able to buy them.
 
Is that you releasing the bolt every time? Or is it going forward when you pull the magazine out? If so why?

A really awesome product regardless and a minor detail at that. Ill be a buyer of a few as well as a new upper when it comes out. This solves all sorts of problems.
 
Well, looking back into the video I do realize that I did release the bolt several time. Most due to the fact that we only have four lower to take care of five uppers. Actually we only have three lower and the other is a loaner from a shooting buddy. So during some individual tests I did in the past, I developed a bad habit of releasing the bolt manually so I can change the upper for the next caliber upper. This was the case when I change from 6.5 to 6.8 or vis. versa in the tape, but unnecessary though for other calibers in the tape. The lower used for 223 is a plastic one and it did show the bolt failed to be locked back when empty. However, on the other lowers, the bolt did hold open when empty. So I will look it up later to see if it is the mag spring problem or the lower is out of spec in terms of the mag catch position.
 
That's right, I ressambled the third lower just before the shooting. Before that, the Windham was the only lower we had before I got my 7.62x39AR transfered back to me.
 
these things look great! please let us know when these come out. I would love not to need color coded ar mags...... just pick it up, load what you need and go at it! I love it!
 
Nice job! Those mags coud make really good money - especially in the current market. You need to go to kickstarter to get the seed money to start production!
 
Well, if we can be successful on the mag project, I will then have the time and money to push the bullpup project forward. It is not a question of if, but when. And yes, I will shoot it, but may not be the original one. That one will be in a museum soon.
