It was back at SHOT Show in early 2020 when I hit the Mission First Tactical (MFT) booth and spied a few distinctive AR-15 mags on display. They had colorful images seemingly embedded into the polymer itself rather than painted on or applied via a sticker. I\u2019d gone through the process myself at the time for an article<\/a> detailing it, now I\u2019ve done it again and can give a durability report on the originals as well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nWhat are they?<\/h4>\nThe basis of the custom mags is MFT\u2019s Extreme Duty (EXD<\/a>) 30-rounders.<\/p>\nTech Specs:<\/h4>\n\n50% Stronger<\/li>\n3x More Impact Resistant than traditional nylons<\/li>\nNext Generation Long Glass Fiber Polymer<\/li>\nEnhanced Strength & Durability<\/li>\nRibbed front and rear gripping surface<\/li>\nLong-life USGI-spec stainless steel spring<\/li>\nFour-way anti-tilt self-lubricating follower<\/li>\nFlared floor plate<\/li>\nOversized bolt catch<\/li>\nPaint Pen dot matrix<\/li>\nTool-less disassembly with double floor plate safety release tabs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe manufacturing method that MFT uses to apply images is still pretty closely held.\u00a0 \u201cVariable Impregnation Process\u201d is the official term used, and the big takeaway from my discussions with MFT about this procedure is that the image isn\u2019t just on the surface, but runs deeper into the material of the magazine body itself.\u00a0 It looks like you\u2019d be able to feel the edges of the image, but you can\u2019t. The image really is inside<\/em> the mag body material.\u00a0 You can\u2019t scrape it off with a fingernail. There\u2019s an extremely tough (and slightly glossy) clearcoat as well, even on sections of the image that are blank unless you use a transparent background.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>The difference between a transparent background (left) and a black background (right), is the application of the protective clear coating.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI\u2019ll go into the process from the consumer\u2019s side in a second.

(The mags with \u201cThe Truth About Guns\u201d company logos will be featured in a mag giveaway soon!)\u00a0 Besides TTAG logos, Jessica Rabbit and Laura Kinney (X-23) got their own mags. Also shown is the four-year-old mag with Paigeosity\u2019s<\/a> \u201cSummer Aesthetic\u201d (used with permission). Yes, I like pinup.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>As long as you have permission or own the copyright, you can put virtually any image on an MFT mag, even a pinup or Jessica Rabbit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI pulled the OG Summer Aesthetic mag out of my shooting bag. It\u2019s been in regular use over the last four years, but is hardly worse for wear. The polymer Mission First Tactical uses for their mags isn\u2019t weak, but it\u2019s still pretty impressive that the image has held up for years.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Four years of regular use, this mag still looks pretty new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne aspect that\u2019s pretty impressive is the level of detail MFT is able to get onto these mags.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t show up in a lot of the photos, but a good zoom shot can give you an idea.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>One aspect of these mags that\u2019s pretty impressive is the level of detail MFT is able to get onto them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe mags themselves function properly.\u00a0 They feed .223 and .300 BLK fine to include heavy subs. The earliest mags from MFT had some issues, the EXD (Extreme Duty) mags have definitely remedied this. That\u2019s including the standard<\/a> mags, the translucent<\/a> mags, and these custom mags as well.<\/p>\nIf I had one minor quibble about MFT\u2019s custom mags, it\u2019s the same one I had four years ago. I\u2019d love to see a \u201cslick side\u201d mag without cutouts, like Torkmag\u2019s eponymous product.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>On the right is a Torkmag, who\u2019s slick side design I think would be a great host for MFT\u2019s custom art applications.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you have any inclination toward spicing up the aesthetic of your rifle, or that of a friend, definitely check out Mission First Tactical\u2019s custom mags.
