Re: MagPul LR308 mags
Looked at them at SHOT and i would be willing to bet they will function the same as their 223 mags.

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
I think last I heard brownells was estimating a July release and that was at least a couple months ago. Consider they said an april, may and june release before that it would not surprise me if we don't see them till late 2009.

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
Great!
Now if I could just find a receiver that takes LR308 mags and AR10 uppers!

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
I got to play with one at SHOT, but they are not on the market yet. They were originally set for April, then June, then July...now...who knows. Like all Magpul gear...these mags are high-quality. Best part is that they will accept long OAL match ammo and will hold a full 20 rounds of ammo unlike some other currently available mags for the DPMS, POF, KAC, etc. rifles.
If I had to guess...I'd say you are looking at Fall before these will hit the shelves.

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
I'm just waiting for these to become available....I have a buddy that put some on backorder already so hopefully he will be one of the first to get them and give me a review.

They won't work in an AR10.
They only work in DPMS pattern rifles.

From the link you posted:
"AR-15/M16 model available in Black, Dark Earth, and O.D. Green to provide a close match to rifles painted in military colors. Seperate AR-Style .308 model in black only."
Thus my question if the 308 PRS was going to come in Tan anytime soon.

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
I have been using one for about 4 Month, maybe a bit more, and they are absolutely flawless... Best mag ever.
I like them alot. I don't know about colors I would assume so, but I haven't asked, mine are just black.

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
"Said to have in stock on the 8-7-09"
Then thats about when Larue will start shipping the OSR's
I ordered an OSR on Dec.15th of last year for a Happy B-Day to me.
Maybe I'll get for this comming B-day.
No big deal either way,

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
I wouldn't put much faith in Midway USA's expected in-stock date. As of about a week ago, it was listed as 07/15/09. Then 08/01/09, now it is up to 08/07/09.
They'll get here soon hopefully!!! Brownells needs more of my money!!!

Well since they are out of style.....if you happen to have any Simrad's laying about, could you box them up and send them down to us? I have a couple other officers here who would put them to good use causing problems for the bad guys.
Hell, they were "state of the art" when I left active duty.

Re: MagPul LR308 mags
I recently an Iron Ridge Arms .308 AR using a DPMS design to fit the MagPul mags, but am using an Armalite bolt carrier, bolt, and Krieger barrel. It's pretty much the best of both worlds. DO NOT let folks tell you can't mix and match parts! For the exception of the receivers (Armalite upper won't fit DPMS lower), you can mix anything you want to when building an AR10/IRA-10/LR308.

Well if you take a belt sander to the lr308 magazine and shave both sides till it fits and clicks in, then you can keep your AR10 LOWER
You could also wait till Christmas time and buy Armalite mags when they are on sale

I would check headspace on the bolt/barrel extension if you can. Is the Krieger setup for the DPMS-style extensions? They are ever so slightly different. I have used AR-10 barrels/extensions with DPMS bolts and bolt carriers in the past. They do work.
