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...

Wow, that's sad. They had such great customer service. I was hoping they would do well.

I heard they paid their customer reps $300k/year. Probably what did them in /s

lol maybe they were close friends or family. In a real business environment unless they were selling to LE/Military this would for sure blow up their business.

Yeah I'm totally kidding. Making a joke that they put all their money into the customer service experience... Haha
