Dumb question but say I all ready have an Black, FDE or OD green mag will it dye. Has any one done this yet.

For all of you FDE lovers out there like me

Recipie using RIT dye:
6 tsp tan
1 tsp pearl grey
1 tsp dark brown
1 qt water

Heat to 175 deg and dye for 2 minutes

I can't for the life of me understand why MagPul didn't already come up with this and the other popular colors in some sort of guide.

Um... <broken link removed> Why not just buy FDE?

MagPul has discontinued FDE for Gen 3 and above including AR-10 mags. I believe their direction moving forward with most new products is black and sand.

Black likely won't take any color. OD might depending on the color. I'm thinking you may get it to turn in red or blue. But it will not be pretty. FDEs dye decently. Not nearly as good as sand does though. I dyed a set of FDE buis black a while back.

Seems like Magpul got wise, if they want another color other than black. Dye it. Otherwise, all they truly need to make is a dyeable and black.

Looks sweet. The American flag idea sounds awesome.

"Freedom Mag"

Lol

Looks okay. Hard to free hand the stars with the hot glue gun.

I got permission to post a pic of his mag.

I was inspired, and thought I already posted this, but can't find it. Wanted a del Monte sticker, but Dole was all Freddie's had.

I have one more 40 rounder.

Any ideas?

I'm drawing up short on what to attempt next.

The yellow one would be perfect for a little black snake, or a "don't tread on me sticker".

I was joking around with the idea of trying to get one to look like bacon.

@bolus would like that!
