The Magpul PMAG GEN M3 10-round magazine delivers reliable feeding and enhanced durability for AR-15 platforms in restricted capacity states. This polymer magazine incorporates proven GEN M3 improvements including an over-insertion stop and enhanced follower design for consistent performance across .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO chamberings.
What Makes This Different
The GEN M3 design addresses common magazine issues through engineering refinements rather than cosmetic changes. The over-insertion stop prevents magazine over-insertion that can cause feeding malfunctions, while the improved anti-tilt follower maintains proper cartridge presentation throughout the entire capacity range. These modifications result in measurably improved reliability compared to standard aluminum magazines.
Key Features
- 10-round capacity compliant with restricted states and hunting regulations
- Over-insertion stop prevents magazine seating issues and feeding problems
- Enhanced anti-tilt follower ensures consistent cartridge presentation
- Impact-resistant polymer construction withstands drops and harsh conditions
- Constant-curve internal geometry optimizes feeding reliability
- Paint pen dot matrix for easy identification and inventory tracking
- Compatible with AR-15, M16, M4, and STANAG 4179 magazine wells
Field testing demonstrates the GEN M3's ability to function reliably in temperatures from -50°F to 180°F while maintaining feeding consistency after repeated loading cycles. The magazine performs effectively in competitive shooting environments where reliability cannot be compromised, as well as hunting applications where reduced capacity may be legally required. The polymer construction resists impact damage that commonly affects aluminum magazines during training exercises.
