The Magpul PMAG 40 GEN M3 is a 40-round 5.56/.223 polymer magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. Along with
an expanded feature set and greater compatibility, it incorporates new
material technology and manufacturing processes for enhanced strength,
durability, and reliability that exceed rigorous military performance
specifications.
While the GEN M3 is optimized for
Colt-spec AR15/M4 platforms, modified internal and external geometry
also permits operation with a range of additional weapons such as the
HK® 416/MR556A1/M27 IAR, British SA-80, FN® SCAR~ MK 16/16S, and others.
The PMAG 40 GEN M3 features a
long-life stainless steel spring, a four-way anti-tilt follower and
constant-curve internal geometry for reliable feeding, and simple
tool-less disassembly for easy cleaning.
In addition, 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. Low profile ribs
and new aggressive front and rear texture gives positive control of the
GEN M3 in all environments, and a paint pen dot matrix has been added to
the bottom panel of the body to allow easy marking by the end user for
identification.
The new, easy to disassemble flared
floorplate 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. An
included pop-off impact / dust cover can be used to minimize debris
intrusion and protect against potential damage to the top cartridge
during storage and transit.
Made in the USA.
