News / Politics / Activism What happened to Cross Industries?

Post image

I had been following crossmags for a long time as Cross kept teasing us with .308 coupler mags for competition shooting. They also teased 7.62x39 coupler magazines.

I went into the backrooms to find my old gear and was reminiscing about days before the great banning. And I saw them... my crossmags...

I went to google Cross Industries and it seems that all of their socials are dead. I can't find their website, and everyone is out of stock of their magazines. I'm not surprised. When all of the MSRs are banned, you lose a business built entirely on being a legal supply of more than 5-rounds.

Does anyone know if they got bought out? Who owns their IP? I would love to see the tech go to MDT. I imagine they can do something great with it.

I was so excited for 7.62x39 magazines...

Low key not surprised they went bankrupt. It was a cool concept but I can't say I've ever had luck with cross mags. The interior dimensions are a couple thou over the COAL of LAP ammo so that jams all the time, they also had a brutal time feeding in platforms like the WK 180 gen 1 & 2 (allegedly) the Bren 2 (allegedly) and ruger american ranch (confirmed). Using a mag wedge with 2 LAR 10 rounder steelys was a way more functional rout to go

They work great in my AR. It was too bad they government knee capped the industry.

That makes sense, I feel like they were designed around AR platforms mainly, which unfortunately didn't translate well into every other platform I've seen them ran in. It's also a small detail bit why did they include stripper clip spoon guides if the mags cannot be charged with stripper clips.

I've even seen a few gun stores around town close due to the bans and hand gun "freeze" it's absolutely horrible how the government can just pen stroke people into unemployed status because of politics
