At first glance, the price of the BETA MAG™ compared with the price of one 30-round magazine seems higher. But where the 30-round magazine is disposable, with a service life of only 1200 rounds, the BETA MAG™ is reusable with a service life of 60,000 rounds and requires no maintenance other than cleaning and lubrication.
If you compare the cost of one BETA MAG™ with the cost of fifty 30-round magazines (with a comparable service life), you end up with a cost savings of over $100 USD.
Storability - Loaded BETA MAG™s store indefinitely without performance loss.
