A core pillar of our business is to raise the standards for quality, durability & innovation in our market, and the MAG line does just that. As XTech is known for, we gave our customers a voice. They wanted better springs, they wanted better baseplates, they wanted more capacity options, and they wanted a better baseline price. We are excited that we were able to hit each of those notes!”, stated Jeremy Deadman, company President.While this is a first look at the new magazines, our test samples have seen the range already and so far they run flawlessly for the several boxes of ammo we’ve tested.
