US Army Bans PMAGs. May,2012

Quote: The Army has ordered that soldiers may use only government-issued magazines with their M4 carbines, a move that effectively bans one of the most dependable and widely used commercial-made magazines on today’s battlefield.

...

The message did not single out PMAGs, but instead authorizes only the use of Army-issued aluminum magazines. The message offers little explanation for the new policy except to state that “Units are only authorized to use the Army-authorized magazines listed in the technical manuals.” Nor does it say what Army units should now do with the millions of dollars’ worth of PMAGs they’ve purchased over the years. http://www.military.com/daily-news/2...ifle-mags.html

So, I wonder which general at TACOM Life Cycle Management Command got a call from his retired buddy who works Brownell's complaining about the lack of orders for their product?

Good luck enforcing this one, Army Brass.
