In truth a windowed Emag or Pmag is my preference, and in reality although these are the new addition of improved AR Magazine, I don't think all be rushing out to get these anytime soon, practically all the mags out there are more than adequate for our needs in LEO/MIL....and especially in civilian hands...
PMAG M3: First Impressions
- Thread starter blaxsun
- Start date
I've just watched the review of "Magpul PMAG Gen M3 5.56x45 Magazine Overview" on Youtube. The good thing of this rev M3 is the rear cut of the follower is wider than on the MOE or rev M, technically it will help the bolt hold open on CSA VZ58 5.56 Magwell Adaptor function better/properly, IMHO. But anyhow, I need to get my hands on one of this rev M3 and test run to see how it works on my VZ58. Just need to wait.

What do these features do?

This guy has "more than 10 available" @ $50 each... Calls 'em "REBUILD KITS"...
They look like bonafide 30rd Magpul M3 mags to me...

- over-travel insertion stop = Just how it sounds, a molded part of the mag that doesn't allow it to be "over-inserted" in the mag-well.
- marking matrix = Is the series of dimpled squares at the base, these allow simple letters or numbers to be marked on the mag for reference.
(IE: name, or # in a series to keep track of individual mags for maintainance purposes)

I mark my flat dark earth Pmags with a permanent Sharpie... Does the job nicely.
You do realize that's sacrilege, yes?

Why am I not suprised that yet again Magpul decides to release something new, yet doesnt account for the "everybody wanting one"... yet again.
+1 I want one. I need some for the MR223A1 that's "on the way" :evil grin:

It was fine up until a few weeks ago (when demand went batsh*t crazy...).

All depends on what happens in the US (I believe an announcement on the high-capacity magazine aspect is expected tomorrow).
What will these do that the other PMAGs won't? More durable and reliable in extreme temperatures. Mine are the non-window version (don't even think Magpul has tooled up for the windowed version with everything that's happened).
I don't know if any dealers are carrying it yet, but Brownells is starting to carry some of it (haven't seen the gray - just the pink).

Yes. Right now you can have Magpul PMAGs in any colour you want... so long as it's black.

The PMAG M3 is definitely an improvement, but there's still nothing wrong for the original PMAGs, either. I think the PMAG M3 will prove more effective in cold weather environments.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Many distributors and suppliers in the US are no longer taking new dealer orders, so I suspect some of the "hot ticket" items have to be sourced directly from other more expensive sources. The PMAG M3 was in limited quantity even before this. I assume if the PMAG MOE is now listed for $25 that the PMAG M3 was $30 or more?
