Why confused? That's the last valid date before the ban goes into effect. (07/2013). Seeing as Magpul will likely be in the process of moving during the -actual- 06/2013, and likely not producing mags _to be sold in colorado_ around that time, this may be a bit of a 'signature' of how effective the Boulder Airlift was. Think of it as perhaps a bit of a tiny little middle finger. A gesture, at least.
I would not be surprised if they dialed the datestamp up to 6/2013 the moment the senate passed HB-1224. Perhaps all Boulder Airlift mags going forward will be dated 06/2013. (Or perhaps, all Magpul mags, period? .... there's no law against it....)
If one ever comes into question; "Oh. That's one of them Boulder Airlift mags..."
Yes sir. Yes sir it is.
A lot of this is conjecture, but I could see the idea behind it.
Anyhow: My windowed M2's are dated 2/13; but indeed, my M2 MOE Non-Windows are in fact also dated 6/13.

Gen 3's aren't even on the page to be ordered anymore.
aryntha got a lot right... Richard Fitzpatrick and the MAGPUL bunch are known a bit for "annoy the establishment" things; err, Boulder Airlift being the latest.
OK, we'll never really know but I also suspect they changed their molding stamps on current production to help meet their standing demand from contracts/dealers AND still supply CO w/ current run mags dated prior to the enactment date. In the demoncraps mind they "exempted" manufacturing post-date to keep MAGPUL; I fully suspect they'll continue production/no CO sales post-July to continue to meet demand... F/U CO legislators while we're moving!
(Takes a bit of time to fully move production/equipment/find suppliers for a lot of the precision molding MAGPUL does..)
ETA: THANKS MAGPUL! I also hear reliable rumors of temporary MAGPUL Boulder Airlift aid stations/temporary retail outlets coming to a neighborhood near you soon...

Kinda bummed about the Boulder Airlift / "PMAG Special Purchase". They don't list any 20 round 5.56 mags, only 30 rounders. I live in denver so they won't ship 30 rounders to me. OK, so I'll order some AR10 mags. The email said you can order 10 each AR10 mags but when I just tried to order them the order says there is a 5 round limit. I sent them an email about the 5.56 mag situation on Tuesday. I think I'll wait until Friday night for a reply and then maybe give up and order the 5 AR10 mags.
Making good people helpless won't make bad people harmless.
I just registered and almost immediately got my Email notification telling me that I was GTG, so I turned right around and placed my order.
I need some input;
Check the link and let me know.![]()

Nice gesture Skully but there are too many greedy people, even on this board, and you will never know if the recipient is truly a person of special needs...
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

Ordered M2 and M3 magazines 3/6/2013 and the M2's showed up 3/15/2013 (M3's are backordered) , I love Magpul so much that this week I also purchased a 870 Tactical Magpul shotgun to keep them safe in the Safe...![]()
