Related: About this forumMagpul stocking Colorado residents up on magazines before the ban
With just two weeks to go before sales of high capacity magazines will be illegal in Colorado, Magpul Industries released a 40-round version of its popular PMAG magazine, offering a limited supply to Colorado customers hoping to beat the deadline.
[T]he PMAG 40 provides 10 more rounds of capacity before requiring a reload which could be a lifesaving difference, the company wrote on its Facebook page. This new safe capacity offering is ideally suited for those who may need to respond to multiple threats without extra rifle magazines carried on their person, or for military members looking for an extra margin of safety in high-tempo operations.
In the comments section, Magpul, which is located in Boulder County, reiterated its intention to move out of Colorado in response to several new gun control laws, including the ban on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. The new laws go into effect July 1.

Don't they take their own threats seriously?

It takes time to move a factory. They have to build a new factory, then shut the old one down.

Mags of all types are starting to finally show up at the LGS.

I was going to throw a big June 30 farewell celebration but I was afraid they might bring all their guns and magazines. Maybe they'll go to Lander WY where they've held the big sporting event "Killing Pronghorns with One Shot" for 70 years and this year Dick Cheney is the guest of honor.

which was written by out of state Brady and MAIG lobbyists. Cheney is just one of the participants.
