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.

Then the charger nuked the high cap magazines for 10/22 cuz a rim fire rifle can have as many rounds as you want but pistols are still limited to 10, so you cant have that banana mag for your rifle if it fits in a pistol.

Except you can modify your rimfire rifle to accept those banana mags. Because that also makes sense somehow.

I have 110rnd drums for my 10/22 that I run with a magazine well adapter. They're an absolute pain in the ass to reload and use, but they're so much fun when it works. 😂

Yeah for sure, as long as you can't put it in a pistol, I have a few drums for an alleged GSG 15. They were half price after the rifle got put on the ban list.
