The Magpul MAG561 PMAG Ranger Plate transforms standard PMAG magazines into tactical-ready feeding devices with enhanced grip and extraction capabilities. These polymer base plates replace factory floor plates on PMAG GEN M3 magazines, providing operators with improved magazine handling during high-stress reloads.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard flush-mounted magazine base plates, the MAG561 features an extended lip design that creates a positive gripping surface for enhanced magazine extraction from pouches and retention during tactical reloads. The textured polymer construction provides secure grip even with wet or gloved hands. This design reduces reload times by approximately 15% compared to flush base plates in controlled testing scenarios.
Key Features
- Extended lip design for positive grip during magazine extraction and retention
- Textured polymer surface maintains grip in wet conditions and with gloves
- Direct replacement for PMAG GEN M3 factory floor plates - no modifications required
- Reinforced construction rated for repeated high-impact drops on concrete
- Low-profile design prevents snagging on gear or clothing during movement
- Compatible with all PMAG AR/M4 GEN M3 magazines in 5.56x45mm NATO
- Three-pack configuration provides complete loadout coverage for standard magazine setup
Field performance testing demonstrates consistent function across temperature ranges from -40°F to 180°F without material degradation. The plates maintain structural integrity through repeated magazine drops from 6 feet onto concrete surfaces. Competition shooters report improved reload consistency, while military and law enforcement users note enhanced magazine retention during dynamic movements.
