The next-generation PMAG 20 GEN M3 is a 20-round 5.56x45 NATO (.223
Remington) polymer magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. Along with
expanded feature set and compatibility, the GEN M3 incorporates new
material technology and manufacturing processes for enhanced strength,
durability, and reliability to 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.
Similar to the MOE PMAG, the GEN M3 features a long-life USGI-spec
stainless steel spring for commonality, four-way anti-tilt follower and
constant-curve internal geometry for reliable feeding, and simple
tool-less disassembly to ease 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.
