I figured by now Magpul would have announced what state they are moving to.
Anyone heard anything?
Their facebook said they were in the final negotiation stages with a yet to be named state but they hadn't officially singed yet so they weren't announcing.
I heard wyo but we will see.
Sent from my Otterbox Defended Tactical iPhone using High Capacity "Clips".
I heard Wyoming too, but only for the magazine manufacturing portion of the business. The rest was supposedly staying in Erie... but it's all hear say/grapevine chatter AFAIK.
That's what I thought I had originally read as well, or was at least lead to believe. The above more recent FB post made it sound like it was going to leave nothing here.Quote:

They (Magpul) has been saying since the beginning that they will move everything out of state. Saying that moving EVERYTHING will make a a point. They specifically said it would not just be the Mags. Personally Wyoming has to be the smart move. Hopefully they set up a store close to the border.
My big question is why do they continue to put stamp the date of manufacture on the product? I guess it is too late now, but they should have stopped dating stuff once the bill passed.
And also, who makes a 15 round AR mag? Definitely a market for it now!
I agree about the stopping of dating magazines. Silly that they are so against these new laws yet they are one of the only magazine manufactures that puts an actual date code on their mags and continues to do so.
I'm curious too.
Magpul did say they would still have a presence of some kind here in the state through the next election cycle.
Maybe not helping us, but the next state that tries this same BS. This is going to be a continuing battle.Quote:

No but dating them June 30th 2013 from now on would set a strong precedent.Quote:
