The Magpul PMAG GEN M3 delivers reliable feeding and enhanced durability for AR-10 pattern rifles chambered in .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO. This 10-round magazine addresses feeding issues common with standard aluminum magazines while maintaining the lightweight profile shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The GEN M3 incorporates an over-insertion stop tab and enhanced follower geometry that eliminates double-feeds and bolt-over-base malfunctions. Unlike traditional aluminum magazines, the reinforced polymer construction withstands repeated drops on concrete and exposure to solvents without cracking. The self-lubricating follower reduces friction by 40% compared to standard followers, ensuring consistent cycling even when loaded to capacity.
Key Features
- Over-insertion stop prevents magazine from seating too deep in magwell
- Anti-tilt follower with constant curve geometry for reliable feeding
- Fits AR-10, M110, SR25, and DPMS pattern rifles in .308/7.62x51
- Impact-resistant polymer construction survives -50°F to 180°F temperature range
- Tool-free disassembly with captive floorplate and spring
- Textured gripping surface and flared floorplate for positive handling
- NSN marked and Berry Amendment compliant
Field testing demonstrates consistent function through 10,000+ round counts without spring degradation or follower wear. The magazine maintains reliable feeding with match-grade ammunition, military surplus, and soft-point hunting loads. Corrosion-resistant coating withstands saltwater exposure and cleaning solvents without surface deterioration.
