Hey it only took them 3 tries to come up with something that functions just as good as a USGI mag and only costs three times as much. They're brilliant over there.How it is possible that Magpul changes their design to fit into lesser design, that everyone is going to dump?
Probably they has SA80 in mind, not possible to do that just for HK417/M27!![]()
Hey, me too! I swapped my Hk lowers.I did the smart thing and only got the HK upper to go with a milspec lower.
Soo just to toss it out there... But because the HK416/M27 is made for the military to the point where is have an official military designation, doesn't that now fall into Milspec classification? Since it isbuilt to the military specs for the M27 IAR?B

Don't confuse being used by the military as being "milspec". There There is a "military specificatin" issued for the M16 series of weapons, I.E. the TDP. The 416 was originally offered up as an alternative without there being an official demand for a new weapon, hence it wasn't made to a "mil-spec TDP".Soo just to toss it out there...

You are incorrect.Depends on the specification of the tender. Probably the only "spec" is that it had to be compatible with use a standard GI or STANAG mag, which the HK is. I don't think the exact dimensions and cut of a Colt M4 is a "milspec" that all guns the military have to conform to. There is no requirement that they accept Pmags.
You are answering a question that I didnt ask... and before you edited it earlier today you used 5 entire paragraphs to do so while still telling me exactly what i said in the first place. My question was directed to you and another member stated you used "milspec" lowers (your words not mine) by choice or replacement in your verbiage, this is why i used the quotes. I did not mention PMag compatibility or timeline of Magpul or any other the other things you had put into reply before your editing spree, simply that time changes and military specifications do as well, just like a2 and a3 upper did a few years back.Don't confuse being used by the military as being "milspec".

Now that the M27 IAR has become the first actually issued version of the 416 series, it's TDP is now one of many mil-specs. Which means that every other variant of the 416 still does not meet mil-spec.
Lastly, the Pmag was originally designed how many years ago compared to the M27 being officially adopted by the USMC just last year?
Once again, the Pmag was designed for mil-spec US rifles. Now that a mod of the 416 has a mil-spec TDP, the Pmag has evolved.
This is the way of the world, always has been, always will be. There is absolutly nothing wrong with Magpuls timeline on this.
