Where to buy S31 ZMAGs?

[arch stanton]

I would have bought more too. They pair really well with the Max31K upper.

I would be in to buy more if they do another run

This always happens when a manufacture quits a product he won't get enough guys to commit for a group buy exactly those that wanted would of bought already good thing I have plenty of Sten mags

I remember the warning from Marty on this forum they were to be discontinued. I bought quite a few, cant remember exactly how many. Maybe it's time to list some.

There you go looks like you are thinking

I agree, I’ve seen people get on lists for group buys or uppers and they don’t follow through with funds when the time comes. That’s y my opinion was for people interested to prepay the retailer upfront to get on the list but yes I can see an issue if the list doesn’t get big enough and now there’s a hassle with reimbursement of funds. I also used to say if someone actually wants something they would have gotten it already. I think some people want stuff more now they see they can’t get them anymore. I’m guilty of that mentality for sure. I’m just going make some calls and see if I can get some positive news. If not then it really isn’t that big of a deal but would be nice to have extra mags.

Lesson to be learned here is, get it (and all you’ll ever want of it) ASAP when dealing in the niche market of machine guns.

Well, my memory didnt serve me that well. I did an inventory, I bought a dozen of the "S" mags for the Max -31, 11 of which are new in package.. I thought I had more like 20. So I am not rolling in them. I may decide to let a few go, as I mostly use drums, but not going to have many for sale. Wasn't somebody selling the lug to weld on a standard mag ? Somebody that's a half decent welder could covert some standard mags pretty easily

I mainly focused on the drums as well, I have about 15 drums but only couple Zmag-s31 mags. I’m not sure on the lug to weld on. One of the things I loved about max 31 upper with the zmag is it being like a new modern machine gun for under $9k. I’ll be fine either way with my current setups but I’d still like to talk to shockwave for the sake of new buyers of a max31 upper being able to enjoy one of the best deals in the machine gun market. Newly manufactured upper with new manufactured mags are ideal in my opinion. But shockwave and lage know the business side of it and if they say it doesn’t make sense financially to make these mags periodically then I will respectfully drop the topic.

I’m a new m11a1 and 31k owner and would be in for a group buy on some mags if it can be done.
I have a couple of original coffin mags and drums but it would be nice to have a less expensive option.

 

[Tony-Ri]

Well, that's disappointing... I've only got 7, so I'm open to more if there is a group buy request.

If it was a challenge for Shockwave to do it, it's not going to be easy, but it is the kind of thing that if you could get a professional to do 100 of them it could be doable. They're going to be more than they were from Shockwave though.

I have long wondered why nobody ever tried a Zmag magwell adapter for the 31.

I have a ZMAG adapter from Strobo. Works great.

!!!! Thread link please? Also, I see what everyone else is concerned about as they are out of regular Zmags as well. That would be tragic. They emailed me back and confirmed they are still making the regular Zmag 30 and 50.

 

[TSPC]

I think it was a one off made by Strobro32.

 

[Wetworks]

strobro needs to make 100 of those and send them to lage, if no more SZMAGS will be made these will sell.

I probably should have got some SZMAGS, instead I just bought a small pile of drums. Now I kinda wish I would have got some.

I think that Mr. Strobro is a direct descendant of Dr. Frankenstein; "I can make new life from old parts!!!!!"

 

[strobro32]

Who made the Death Card adapter? Maybe they can whip up some 3D printer versions?

2nd. The motion is on the floor. All in favor say aye.

 

[JohnFreeman]

Aye!

The 50 round Zmags are in stock, and they've got more 30's in production!

 

[renovate7]

So are they THE manufacturer or are they made by someone else? I'd be willing to buy 50 of the S31 just so someone has some on the shelf.

That’s a good question but I don’t know. I talked to Cynthia from shockwave today, the GOOD news is they are open to the idea of group buy. The bad news is the minimum quantity is extremely high. 2000 mags at $26.37 a piece. Do we have any wealthy members on this forum that like slow return on investment? Haha

 

[Poacher]

If a group buy happens I'd get 5 or 6 more.
