This takes me back. Had the WA version (also open bolt) in 2009-2010, wish I never traded it away!

New mags are starting to surface, looks very promising:

Terrific resource, thank you for sharing Hetzer.

Any more info Nugent? Are they built to look like STANAG's or are they aesthetically different too?

That can't be correct about the magazines, they charge $42.50 for a single magazine at the moment!

Those leg mounted sub-loads look a little awkward to use

Looks like VFC have released some CO2 mags for it (47.50 USD @ WGC): http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=special&item=VFC-MAG-MP5G30-BK02&search=special&rs=New%20Release&catid=&cat=

Pretty sure they've all been AEG's posted so far Pkekyo.

The design of the magazine has been refined over time (specifically the size of the rubber gas route packing and the plastic magazine cap used to hold it in place). That said, the changes do not alter their compatibility so you will be able to use both old and new type mags with the VFC 416 GBBR (whether old or new). Regardless, the two magazine you've linked to differ only by colour (and price ), they're both the latest version.

The AS Springfield Operator with full length dust cover FMK looks severely tempting, are AS kits made by prog4?

Thanks for posting that Akira! Will take apart my old M4 type bolt to see if the parts are the same

I just wish RA-Tech would develop an NPAS for it (they've no plans for one last time I checked with them), I wonder if the standard M4 type would work...

Can only comment on the new BCG, no signs of the cracks that the original design was plagued with.
