If you have never tried the Lancer clear mags before, I think you will like them.

I sure do.... they are top quality and I like the idea of being able to actually see how many rounds are left in the mag.

I forgot to mention above that Primary Arms doesn't gouge customers on shipping fees. Lots of their items qualify for free shipping and these mags fall into the free shipping category.

Some even quote high in stock numbers. I place my order, receive my confirmation email that it was submitted successfully then 10 min later I receive an email that states something like, "We have cancelled your order. The item you requested is either out of stock or it has been discontinued. We appreciate your business." I submitted one last order I'm hoping this goes through.
A friend turned me on to the clear tranluscent 30 round mags from Lancer and they are probably the best AR-15 mags I've ever seen/used.

Primary Arms sells the lancer mags, I went to their web site today and ordered 4 more at $18.99 each...... I just checked again and they still list as being in stock this evening.

They also have black mags for a less expensive price. In addition to the 30 round mags, they also have 20 round mags.

If you want to buy a few in case an AWB includes a ban on what mags we can actually use, they also have aluminum 10 round mags.

Re: Cheaper Than Dirt! suspends firearms sales

On their Facebook page, there have been thousands of negative comments posted today, CTD has also been 'unliked' by over 8,000 today alone.

If there were problems with IRS or BATF, or anything else, they could and should have issued more of a statement than the half assed one on their FB page.

They brought all this wrath on themselves.

I've never ordered a gun from them, I prefer to support my local dealers. However, I have ordered a lot of ammo and accessories from them over the years. Their decision does not affect my supply of accessories or ammo because I order a lot from Midway also.

My concern is how this will play out as a publicity boost to the anti-gun groups who will be banding together to have some sort of AWB legislation pushed through after the first of the year.

Even the statement from NRA today was not terribly reassuring, we will all have to wait and see how things pan out.

Re: Cheaper Than Dirt! suspends firearms sales

Couldn't help but notice that at the same time CTD announced a suspension of gun sales, they jacked the price of a PMag up to $60.00. :smash:

2.) AND..... then there is this, posted on Cheaper Than Dirt's Facebook page just a few minutes ago:

"Cheaper Than Dirt! is suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately. We are reviewing our policy internally, and will continue to be the leader in the outdoor industry with our full line of gear and accessories."

3.) In wake of Conn. School shooting, group that owns Bushmaster selling:

"Over the past six years, Cerberus has amassed a holding company called the Freedom Group, which has purchased some of the biggest names in American gun manufacturing, including Bushmaster. The firm’s decision to sell off the interests in firearms companies and return the capital to its investors underscores how Friday’s shooting -- which took the lives of 20 children -- has reinvigorated the national debate on gun control, not just for activists, but also for investors."

4.) Dick's Sporting Goods announces suspension of some rifle sales:
