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...

Right? The government decided 30 rounds was too much, so we were limited to 5. But pistols could have 10... and pistol rifles could also have 10 because they were pistols... and the rule applied to the magazine, not the firearm so rifles could also have 10 rounds... make it make sense.

I have like twelve 30 round pmags and four 20 round 7.62 mags sitting on my desk right now. To be fair those are illegal in some U.S. states too, but it's just plastic with a metal spring lol. Imagine getting arrested and going to jail because of a $20 plastic rifle magazine.

In Canada you probably wouldn't be jailed just for a magazine offence but yeah point still stands that it's dumb because an aluminum rivet can pin a 30 rnd mag to 5 for it be legal.
