The Magpul PMAG D-60 delivers reliable high-capacity feeding for AR-15 and M4 platforms with its innovative 60-round drum design. This magazine eliminates the feeding issues common with traditional drum magazines through Magpul's proven polymer construction and spring-loaded follower system. Law enforcement and competitive shooters rely on the D-60 for sustained fire scenarios where frequent reloading compromises tactical advantage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional drum magazines that suffer from spring fatigue and feeding malfunctions, the PMAG D-60 uses a constant-force spring system that maintains consistent tension throughout the entire capacity range. The polymer body weighs significantly less than steel alternatives while providing superior impact resistance. Magpul's self-lubricating follower reduces friction and prevents double-feeds that plague other high-capacity designs.
Key Features
- 60-round capacity with reliable feeding in 5.56x45 NATO and .223 Remington
- Constant-force spring maintains consistent pressure from first to last round
- Impact-resistant polymer construction weighs 1.7 lbs when loaded
- Compatible with STANAG 4179 magazine wells on AR-15, M4, and similar platforms
- Transparent rear window allows visual round count verification
- Anti-tilt follower prevents nose-diving and feed lip damage
- Removable floorplate enables complete disassembly for cleaning
Field testing demonstrates the D-60's ability to function reliably in temperatures from -30°F to 180°F without spring degradation. The magazine feeds hollow point, FMJ, and match-grade ammunition consistently across multiple rifle configurations. Competition shooters report zero malfunctions during extended strings of fire, while the low-profile design allows prone shooting positions that traditional drums cannot accommodate.
