Magpul Mag556-Mcb Pmag 30 Ar/M4 Gen M3 Window 556
The Magpul PMAG 30 Gen M3 Window is a 30-round 5.56x45 NATO magazine built for AR15 and M4 platforms that combines proven reliability with user-friendly features you'll actually appreciate in the field. Whether you're running a standard Colt-spec rifle, an HK 416, a SCAR, or any other STANAG 4179-compatible platform, this next-generation polymer magazine feeds rounds with the consistency serious shooters demand. It's the kind of workhorse gear that disappears into your loadout and just works—which is exactly what you want from a mag.
The dual-side transparent windows with MagLevel indicators let you verify your round count at a glance without breaking your shooting position. Magpul's high-visibility coil spring and printed numerical markers on the body make estimating remaining ammo quick and reliable. The anti-tilt follower and constant-curve internal geometry ensure smooth, predictable feeding under any conditions, while the long-life stainless steel spring is built to last through thousands of cycles. Tool-less disassembly means field cleaning is straightforward—no guessing, no parts left behind.
Handling and control matter. The redesigned floorplate is slimmer than earlier versions, so it plays nicer with double and triple mag pouches without sacrificing durability or drop protection. Aggressive front and rear texture gives you a confident grip, and low-profile ribs keep things snag-free when drawing from a pouch. The over-travel stop on the spine prevents over-insertion on compatible rifles, while the bolt catch notch has been refined for better clearance. A paint pen dot matrix on the bottom lets you mark mags for quick identification across your collection. Made in the USA.
