Magpul PMAG Gen M3 AR-15 30-Round Magazine - Black

30-Round AR-15 Magazine

The Magpul PMAG 30 Gen M3 is a 30-round polymer magazine for AR-15 and M4 pattern rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm. It is a common choice for range work, training and duty use, and shooters who run an AR tend to buy it in quantity. This listing is the black version, molded and marked in the USA by Magpul Industries.

Features

• 30-Round Capacity — The magazine holds a full 30 rounds, the standard load for an AR-15 rifle magazine.
• 5.56x45mm Chambering — The body is marked 5.56 x 45 for the NATO cartridge, which AR-15 rifles typically fire alongside .223 Remington.
• Polymer Body — The one-piece molded polymer shell is light and does not dent the way thin aluminum feed lips and bodies can.
• Anti-Tilt Follower — The gray follower, the platform the spring pushes up under the rounds, is shaped to stay level so cartridges feed straight into the chamber.
• Gen M3 Design — The Gen M3 marking identifies the third-generation PMAG, the current version of Magpul's AR/M4 magazine.
• Textured Grip Areas — Raised ribbing along the spine and a waffle-pattern panel near the base give your hand purchase when you pull a mag from a pouch or strip it from the rifle.
• Marking Panel — The dot-matrix grid near the floorplate accepts paint pen, so you can number your magazines and track which one is giving trouble.
• Flared Floorplate — The wide base gives a solid surface to seat the magazine with a firm push and to grab during reloads.
• Made In USA — Magpul Industries Corp. molds the manufacturer and country markings into the body.

Build and Compatibility

The PMAG 30 Gen M3 is marked AR/M4 and fits standard AR-15 and M4-style lower receivers in 5.56x45mm. The step molded partway down the body sits against the bottom of the magazine well when the mag is seated. The black finish matches most AR builds, and the molded date code on the side tells you when your magazine was made.
