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
