Mag adapters

[Power Surge]

Special mags as in you can't walk into a store and buy a mag that works with an adapter, or for the shtf crowd a mag that you're going to find laying on the ground during a crisis that works in your gun. You need special mags home made to work with the gun.

. Why not double your mag carrying capability and go DBL?

Marcus

Because I have 5 sks's that use AK mags. That was my question. Why not just buy an ak mag gun.

You-fix-em for $120 plus $100 adapter = Full M or D features for $220.   

OR....  Regular nice chicom for $300 plus $100 adapter = $400. And you have both!!

OR... You already have a standard sks wnd $100 makes it run just like your M or D or whateva

In that case, our adapters are of no value to you. However, your AK mags won't run in a standard SKS. And ANY standard SKS mag, modified or not, won't run in your AK mag SKS's. So you DO have a special mag rifle. Same logic applies to SHTF mag pickup's.

If you already have a standard SKS, our adapters are the way to go. You don't HAVE to buy a rifle that takes the 'special' AK mags.

Again, not being sarcastic, just presenting 'options'. What LC said.

Well that was my basis for questioning why....    $350 for a basic chinese SKS + $100-150 for adapter = $450-$500. You can buy a Sporter or an M for that kind of money and use $10 AK mags that exist by the millions all around the world.

But they still won't work in a standard SKS. Your logic is flawed.

Marcus, with all due respect (which honestly isn't much the way you're handling the canadian adapter issue), you're selling a product. I don't expect you to understand my question. You're throwing out answers to things I didn't ask. I never said anything about using an AK mag in a stock SKS. I was asking what the appeal was using an adapter with a stock SKS vs just buying a factory detachable mag SKS.

The answer is, if you HAVE a standard SKS, and you want reliable detachable mags is XX capacity, buy our adapter, instead of purchasing another rifle. It flat our works, it's that simple. Less than buying a new rifle to take XX capacity mags of any mfg. This option is only viable if you already own a standard SKS and don't own an AK mag accepting SKS. If you own a SKS that takes AK mags, this is probably not for you.

Also just to be clear.... I am not doubting the function of your adapters.  I know they work

[1mlt]

If a person owns an AK, D, M or Sporter, our adapters won't improve on their efficiency. If you own a 'standard', internal 10 round SKS, our products will improve that platforms efficiency w/o the higher cost of a new or different rifle. The mags we sell are per-modified. We need to get our costs back when we sell them. You can purchase a Tapco 20 or ProMag 30 for about 15.00/each and do the mods yourself. The polymer mags are very simple to mod. I was modding them using my scroll saw. But they were a little 'ragged' looking, so I decided to have them modified by my CNC guy. I build a 'jig' to hold them and cuts them with his machine. Much 'cleaner' looking and the specs hold for each one.

The metal ASC mags for the G9 are modified using wire EDM technology. Again, we made a 'jig' for them also. You can mod them yourself if you have a drill press with x/y axis or a table mill. But it would take some effort because they are metal.

As to the Canadian thing, we have a license agreement with MagWedge to make and distribute our products in Canada. MagWedge is the only authorized distributor in Canada of our products. I doubt you would be very happy if you were in my shoes and saw your products being sold w/o your permission.

Naw, can't saw I would be happy, and I can completely understand it, the pissed off, rage feeling....but at the same time, and I gotta say it, I would have handled the situation alot differently and not made a spectacle out of the whole ordeal. I would have done what needed done, resolved the issue, quietly.. Logistically and legally what can anyone here do, throwing a fit and acting an azz and open public confrontation on another board won't solve anything, this only attracts them back here to cause drama. Don't deny it, it's already happened once, every hear of mob mentality, you piss off one, the whole group attacks. In this situation, only the powers of lawyers, patent offices and deals made across international borders and what not can fix the issue, not, throwing a fit like a 5 year old..

Thats, all I got to say about that.

[Power Surge]

I have been in your shoes. I used to manufacture high performance automotive parts for a specific niche vehicle. I was the first vendor to do so, and I was the one who put all of the time and money into the R&D. After my products came out, other vendors copied them. Some of those vendors had deeper pockets then I did and were actually able to manufacture them cheaper than I could. I even had one vendor tell me that he was going to copy my parts and then sell them to me cheaper so that I could make more money. One of these vendors was even from Canada.

So I have been in your shoes, almost to the exact situation. You have to handle these situations in a professional manner. Getting upset and slamming another company for going online and complaining all the time does not make you look very professional. despite how upset you are over this, instead of complaining about other vendors publicly, just try to concentrate on promoting the features and benefits of your products and let people make the decision for themselves. You will gain much more respect for that type of Business Conduct.
