Thermold Mags?

[recon]

So we should see these again?

[thedaledoe]

Are those different then the Orlites?

[JE3146]

better quality dale.. though I still dont trust anything polymer unless it was one of those new XM8 mags

Alluminum may be weak, but it dont rust, its light and the mags are abundant and cheap...

[thedaledoe]

Well, plastic dont rust, its lite, and its cheap.. and the XM8 mags are just G36 mags are they not?

[JE3146]

supposedly "new and improved" .....HK mags have good seems and structure

plastic also cracks with excessive use and breaks..... orlites have really pisspoor seems that will crack... or with excessive spring tension... or loading and unloading.. they'll just break... but shit I've seen em go for like 4$ a pop on gunbroker now... for that price.. couldn't beat to pick up a few for some trash range mags..

[thedaledoe]

"Plastics make it possible" :D

[glock.40cal]

"plastic is for toys" is what everyone said when glocks first came on the scene. now look. thermolds are good(prefer usgi, but not by much.) if you can still find any.

[meatball]

In the mid 80's, we T&E'd the Thermold 45/30 mags (you know, the ones that could be stored with the baseplate extended, or loaded to 45 rounds). After about 2 weeks on the range with them, we renamed them Turdmold. The Canadians adopted them. The Canadians have now dumped them. They're shit. I'm glad they're gone, and hope if we ever go to war, our enemys are armed with Turdmolds...
