B&T mag prices got you down? Standard capacity mags for their popular APC9 pistols usually run between $60 and $75. Thankfully, Lingle Industries has just made its new GHM9/APC9 Scorpion mag lower available for sale on their website. CZ Scorpion mags are much easier to find and can be had at between a third to half the price of the stock B&T magazines, and if you’re a mag hoarder like I am, the price of this lower can be quickly made up for in the cost savings.

    I wouldn't care so much about the cost of mags. But mag commonality amongst my friend group and across my own guns is a big plus.

    If I load up 10 mags I could use across, say, 4 guns on one range trip, it makes life easy.

    And I'm all about the easy life.

    Yes I know the APC9 is the Army's new SMG. With that said, here's a thought. Instead of paying 1600 for a GHM9 or 2000-2500 for a APC9, then spending 365 more dollars for this new scorpion lower, plus a AR-15 trigger and parts (which puts the GHM9 in the 2000-2300 and APC9 in the 3000-3300 ranger or more), how about......oh i don't know....... BUY A DAMN SCORPION. Costs less than a grand. I mean i've had people say "well the scorpion isn't really a good gun." I not saying it's the greatest thing by any means, but i ask them "so wait a minute. You're going to take parts for a gun you say it crap, to put on this gun to make this other gun better?" It's the same thing with the Stribog owners. They spend more money on parts to fix or make the Stribog better than the damn costs in the first place lol
