Magpul AR/M4 PMAG
What’s Included | Specs | Pictures | Restrictions
The Magpul PMAG is the go-to mag for rifles—high quality, inexpensive, and reliable. The Gen M2 and M3 PMAGs are constructed from impact and crush-resistant polymer that will handle any amount of abuse you can reasonably dish out. The constant curve geometry and self-lubricating anti-tilt follower keep the PMAG feeding normally under the most extreme conditions. The PMAG is notoriously reliable.
But what’s the deal with the generations? M2? M3? What does it all mean? What do I need?
GEN M2 MOE
This is the base model, the Toyota Corolla with 400k miles that just refuses to die. These are generally the cheapest variation of the PMAG since they lack a few features compared to the M3, like the over-travel stop and some follower geometry. Despite not having the extra bells and whistles the M2 is still an incredible magazine, and its lower price point makes them perfect for training mags that will see a lot of wear and tear. Mags are ultimately consumable items, so having some dedicated training mags is never a bad thing.
GEN M3
With the M3, you get an even more advanced polymer that is slightly tougher than the M2. Even though the M2 is already extremely tough, this is a welcome upgrade. Alongside that, you get an enhanced follower design, an over-travel stop, a dot matrix for paint marking, and a slimmer baseplate design. The M3 is also more compatible with non-colt-spec platforms, like the HK 416, M27, MR556, FN SCAR 16s, and the SA-80.
300 BLACKOUT
These mags are functionally the same as the Gen M3 mags, but they feature some 300 Blackout-specific updates, including a new follower tailored specifically to 300BLK and the different case and projectile shapes found in this caliber. These mags also have a distinct rib design and smooth texture, so they can be easily differentiated from your 5.56 mags.
