They're getting there. They're slowly getting into the AK market. They've started making MOE AK grips and introduced them at last January's SHOT show.

I wouldn't be surprised to see AK mags maybe in the next year or so after the "current unpleasantness" is behind us.

Yeah, can't really blame a company with a million mag back order for not expanding the product line. :)

Too bad Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms aren't this vocal.

I've supported them with purchases in the past liking the idea I was helping manufacturers in my state.

If they threatened to move I would have much respect for them. At one time I think there was talk of RRA moving to Iowa.

This. I'm gathering they would expand their product line, except they're making money hand over fist with the AR15 platform. Until that demand levels out, it'd wouldn't be a great idea to expand into other potentially less profitable lines. Now, I hope they do. I'd love if Magpul had as many accessories for the AK platform as they do for the AR.

I was going to post that, but AFAIK, it was just a limited promotional type run, sub-contracted out to one of the other billet makers.

I figured everyone meant one that leveraged Magpul's polymer investments as well.

Yep.  I remember on the old AR15-L email list when Magpul started there were a few people who wondered how a company could become successful producing something that was most often improvised with a few cents worth of paracord.

I'm not a Magpul fanboy and I was never a fan of their original gizmo.  But they do produce thoughtful, well designed, useful gear.  Their mags are great.  Their grips are excellent.  I'm seriously considering replacing my Ergo grip, which I've had for years and love, with a Magpul MOE grip.

I think Magpul became successful by not resting on their laurels and relentlessly manufacturing good gear that people want to buy.

Interesting...

Magpul just announced a program.

Until they leave Colorado, they're allowing verified colorado residents to buy up to 10 mags, 5 dollar shipping flat rate, bypassing the order queue entirely. They will be given priority.

They have similar programs they say they are working on for other states.

Why let that stop you?  You could sell them at a decent fair price (ie less than the 1 eternal soul that CTD is asking for.)
