Magpul TMAG 30 AR/M4 Gen M3 Magazine - OD Green (Mag1417-ODT)

The Magpul TMAG 30 AR/M4 Gen M3 magazine is a translucent 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington magazine built for AR-15, M4, and M16 platforms—and it goes further. That translucent OD green body isn't just for looks; it lets you see exactly what you've got loaded and how many rounds remain, a real advantage whether you're at the range, in the field, or running drills. Magpul engineered this one to work with a wide range of STANAG 4179–compatible rifles, including the HK416, SCAR MK16/16S, M27 IAR, and others, so your magazine investment covers more ground than standard AR-only options.

Reliability is the foundation here. The four-way anti-tilt follower keeps rounds feeding cleanly regardless of tilt or angle, while the USGI-spec stainless-steel spring with painted coil maintains that visual "gas gauge" capability—you can glance at the coil to spot your round count at a glance. The magazine body itself is clearly marked with approximate round counts, and the paint-pen dot matrix lets you customize your own capacity indicators to match your personal system. That's the kind of small-detail thinking that separates a magazine you trust from one you tolerate.

The ribbed front and rear straps give you a solid grip during magazine changes—especially useful under stress or in cold weather when your hands aren't working as well. The smooth sides preserve that translucent visibility without compromising durability. The low-profile floor plate accepts Magpul's full line of floor-plate accessories, so you can adapt the magazine to your specific setup. If you're running an AR platform and want a magazine that works across multiple rifle systems, feeds reliably, and gives you real-time visibility of your ammunition status, the TMAG Gen M3 delivers on all three fronts.
