I don’t mind finding coal in my stocking—well coal black actually although flat dark earth magazines are not bad either. Of course finding AR mags in your stocking is like finding batteries. I wonder what the long, narrow box marked “Adult Signature Required” could be for the fourth day of Christmas?
Magpul’s PMAG 30 is the new standard in AR-15 magazines. If you own an AR15 platform rifle from Colt, Bushmaster, DPMS, Rock River, Daniel Defense, Remington or Smith & Wesson in 5.56mm NATO or .223 Remington (or even .300 BLK caliber), you need a 30-round magazine from the creative minds at Magpul.
The PMAG is a lightweight 5.56×45 NATO (.223 Remington) AR15/M16 compatible magazine. It is constructed from an advanced impact resistant polymer and features a pop off Impact/Dust Cover for storage. That sounds like pretty boring product writer speech until you consider this: The Impact/Dust Cover alleviates pressure from the feed lips, allowing for long-term storage of loaded magazines. That should have your attention whether you are a prepper or just smart enough to lock up a few loaded mags with and emergency weapon.
The PMAG 30 also utilizes a resilient stainless steel spring for corrosion resistance, constant-curve geometry and an anti tilt, self-lubricating follower for increased reliability.
The Gen 2 revision has been updated with a new body-ribbing design which allows for better compatibility with aftermarket mag couplers; a new follower which provides even smoother loading with military stripper clips, and the Impact/Dust Cover can now be snapped onto the floorplate when not in use to prevent loss.
