The Magpul MAG286 PMAG Minus Limiter converts standard 30-round PMAGs into compliant 10-round magazines without permanent modification. These black polymer limiters provide a clean solution for jurisdictions with magazine capacity restrictions while maintaining the reliability of Magpul's proven PMAG platform.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional magazine blocks that can shift or fail, the PMAG Minus Limiter features a precise-fit design that locks securely into the magazine body. The limiter maintains consistent spring tension and follower alignment, ensuring reliable feeding throughout the reduced capacity range. Installation requires no tools and creates no permanent changes to the original magazine.
Key Features
- Reduces standard 30-round PMAG capacity to compliant 10 rounds
- Compatible with PMAG GEN M3 AR/M4 magazines in 5.56x45mm/.223 Remington
- Tool-free installation with secure locking mechanism
- Maintains original magazine spring tension and follower geometry
- Durable black polymer construction matches PMAG aesthetics

- Three limiters per package for multiple magazine conversion
Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding reliability across various ammunition weights from 55-grain to 77-grain bullets. The limiter design prevents double-feeds and maintains proper bolt hold-open function on the last round. Law enforcement agencies have adopted these limiters for training scenarios requiring reduced capacity, while competitive shooters use them for specific match divisions with capacity restrictions.
