The Magpul PMAG 42 Round Magazine delivers extended capacity for AR-15 platforms without sacrificing the reliability that defines the PMAG series. This high-capacity magazine extends tactical capabilities for competition shooters and enthusiasts requiring maximum round count between reloads.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 30-round magazines, the PMAG 42 provides 40% more ammunition capacity while maintaining the proven PMAG polymer construction and spring system. The extended body design distributes weight evenly to prevent feeding issues common in other high-capacity magazines. Magpul's proprietary polymer blend resists impact damage and temperature extremes that can cause lesser magazines to crack or malfunction.

Key Features

  • 42-round capacity for 5.56x45 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges
  • Impact-resistant polymer construction with textured grip surfaces
  • Anti-tilt follower prevents double-feeds and misfeeds
  • Constant-curve internal geometry ensures reliable feeding
  • Compatible with STANAG 4179 magazine wells
  • Removable floorplate for easy cleaning and maintenance
  • Paint pen dot matrix for easy identification and marking
The extended magazine performs consistently across temperature ranges from -50°F to 180°F, maintaining spring tension and feed reliability in harsh conditions. Competition shooters benefit from reduced reload frequency during stages, while the magazine's length works well with prone shooting positions. The reinforced feed lips resist deformation under fully loaded storage conditions.
