The next generation Magpul® PMAG® 30 AR/M4 GEN M3 Magazine is a 30 round 5.56 x 45 NATO (.223 Remington) polymer magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. A redesigned bolt catch notch in the rear of the magazine provides increased bolt catch clearance, while an over travel stop on the spine helps ensure the magazine will not over insert on compatible weapons. Similar to the MOE PMAG, the GEN M3 features a long life stainless steel spring, four-way anti-tilt follower, and constant curve internal geometry for reliable feeding, and simple tool-less disassembly to ease cleaning. An included pop-off impact dust cover can be used to minimize debris intrusion and protect against potential damage during storage and transit. Low-profile ribs and new aggressive front and rear texture give positive control of the Magpul GEN M3 in all environments, and a paint pen dot matrix on the bottom panel of the body to allows easy marking for identification. The new, easy-to-dissemble flared floor plate aids extraction and handling of the magazine while providing improved drop protection, but is slightly slimmer than before for better compatibility with tight double and triple magazine pouches.
