Anybody want surefire 60 round magazines?

Surefire made double stack 5.56 nato magazines for the m4 platform. They are not too bulky. They are a copy of the russian 5.45 double stack magazines and will work in any ar platform.
If you look at the math surefire did, the 100 rounder is not that big of a deal when it comes to real performance on the field. The 60 rounder shines and is as long as a 30 rounder but just thinner than two mags taped together.
I have a few cases of them coming in probably march. Today is the last day to get the shot show price.
Would these be a good item to put on gunbroker? Is there much of an interest?
Thanks!

Sounds more reasonable to me than a beta mag. Doesn't take long to drop an empty, slap in a fresh mag, and instantly be ahead 20 rounds.
yeah, but if you were a professional, the beta lays flat on the ground!
Personally I prefer the Beta-C for anything above 20 rounds, as I don't like how far the 30s extend. Both the Beta and the extended mags make the rifle less handy than a 20 rounder, but the Beta's simply shooting from a prone position.
Once could assume the surefires would not have feeding issues, but any stick mag of 60 rounds is suspect, IMO.

Worth a shot, I guess.

surefire is one company that i can honestly say has never ever made a piece of crap. they dont work like other companies and worry about the price of a product. they just want to build the best and could care less if people think their stuff is overpriced.
i doubt they would risk ruining their perfect reputation on a bunch of magazines that will end up on the battlefields of the world.
they have already been tested by their employees who are comprised of delta, seals, rangers and your average every day spooks......

How much is the shot show price? I seen a few of these but they were like $90 a mag[xx(]
they come in a pack of 4 @300 bucks (60)
So people are getting them for $75 and selling for $90+
I would rather have 10-12 30 rounders for the same price.
Kinda cool--but I'll stick to my 30 round $17 PMags for the moment.
thats awesome you can get them for so cheap. they are great mags...
Im getting 10 new in the package 30 rounders with the new 4 way followers for 120. + S/H. I'm good with that. And a buddy of mine is going half on it with me. While surefire is a GREAT product, these will do me. They are made in the USA and are work fine. For a lot less.
wow!
Sure looks neat!
yeah, that anodized aluminum they put into their nice flashlights will go into these magazines. it will be fun to actually feel them. too bad they couldn't knurl a band around the bottom like they do on the torches.
i dont like the 100 rounder but im sure someone will have to have it.
