We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents' ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our... best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them.
Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue.
Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.
Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement.
If they go to Texas or better yet Arizona who knows, I might even relocate too.
What if I take my AR-15 up to Wyoming, then come back into the State? Do I have to prove I had the mags on the way up, pre-ban? What if my son is coming down out of Wyoming for some target practice with me and brings his mags?
No possible way, absolutely none, of enforcing this. Have you seen the Rocky mountains and the borderlands between Colorado and its neighboring States? The ban would be utterly meaningless and impossible to enforce.
LoL.
Colorado is surrounded by Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas that the standard capacity magazines will still be available.
Silliness indeed.
Since 1980, Colorado has almost doubled in size from 2.8 million to almost 5 million. You could say about 1 million or more Kommiefornians have moved to CO.
Oh I forgot to mention Nebraska. ;^)
They should be expediating the sales of higher caps than that to the residents of CO, CT and other states that are about to go over the edge.
I would say that that would give the residents a one-up in values, but I think these people will be the first to physically say “No.” They need our support. I have already offered my out-of-state support to these people wherever I can.
I read that Wyoming was the favored move, due to the proximity of that state line to the current facility and the employees' homes. It would keep more of their current staff on the payroll, which is certainly laudable.
But hey, ya never know. If the Texas offer was serious, it probably included a temporary employee housing package. We shall see.
I managed to find a Ruger 10-22 about a month ago by searching every day. And, if you haven't read it yet, it is PINK. I found a 25 cartridge magazine for it before I found the rifle. Then, had to search every day until I found CCI Mini Mag HP for one day on CheaperThanDirt. I'm glad I have it all together now. If a bad guy comes in my house, he'll see a PINK rifle looking at him and then he won't see anything after that. I consider that my assault rifle because a bullet comes out every time I pull the trigger and can pull it 25 times before it quits.
“Where are you going to find CCI Stinger ammo at this point?”
I have a list of every company that sells ammo in my favorites list and check them every day. That’s how I found the CCI Stingers one day about three weeks ago or less at CheaperThanDirt. They had them, I ordered them, and the next evening there were none left to buy.
10.22 also comes in a .22 Magnum configuration. Good gun
I reccomend the Marlin 795. They rock and the company is patriot friendly.
I’ll take a Marlin 795 over it. Cheaper and more accurate. I’ve seen them both on the line as an appleseed intsructor.
BTTT .... !
GTT ?..... :o)
Stay safe !
Thanks for perspective. I had not read what the options they were looking at were.
I’ve got a Circuit Judge too. What a hoot to fire those big .45s and watch what damage they will do.
I just need a real live target to break into my house one night to see just how damaging they are.
As far as a cheap ammo to use that has some real killing power, use .22 magnums.
I have a BB gun and a pellet gun, and so does my neighbor.
On it!
Now if IMI would step up and divert all foreign SS109 shipments to Colorado...
