Too bad Colt and S&W don't join them in moving to freedom loving states.

As many times as Colt has undergone bankruptcy/business reorganization, one would assume that they would have relocated to a State with lower labor costs, reduced regulation, and similar skilled workers.
Hartford is historic, but it isn't a practical center for firearms manufacturing now.

I heard Texas is the most likely choice, but haven't heard a date yet. I went ahead and bought 3 more Pmags giving me a total of 5. Wasn't happy about paying $24.99 a piece for them, but at least I have them now. Kicking myself for all the times I walked past them on the shelf for $12.95 now. My dept recently passed a patrol rifle policy, but of course are now dragging their feet on the required "Patrol Rifle Class" to be taught in house before we can carry them.
If nothing else I have 30 GI style aluminum mags that have been reliable.

Magpul will sell you 10 as LE for around $160. Sure, it's twice what you paid, but it's more than three times the mags.

Hypocritical whores, the CO legislators supporting the bill; trying to entice Magpul to stay in state, they ban CO sale of the very mags they encourage Magpul to sell anywhere else the mags are legal. Sleazy sleazy.

It's because they don't want the backlash that'll happen when MagPul leaves (if they leave).

I've noticed that the field behind my house is being cleared out. Coincidence?

Their Facebook page lays out the move strategy. Sounds like they will be making them in several places, likely multiple states (all smaller plants than the current one).

Don't tell me these Democrats might actually find out that their retardedness has real consequences?!??!
Bravo to Magpul if they really go through with it. That's a tough thing to do. Lots of people will have some very hard decisions to make.

The email I got said 10 mags for $135 (rounded price). Have they gone up?

No idea. A coworker said his card was charged somewhere in the $150-$160 range. I've been dragging my feet on making an order.

yeah, mine were $148 shipped. But they also sent me a coupon code with the order link to help with shipping when I made my order.

Magpul is saying within 30 days the first mags will be being made outside Co.

Is there a link or a place to go to purchase the magazines at the LE price?
