High-capacity magazines change how you plan a range session or prepare for extended drills. For AR-15 shooters who value reliability and compact handling, a reliable drum that maintains a manageable profile can be a decisive upgrade for both training and practical applications.

MAGPUL PMAG is a durable, lightweight 60-round 5.56×45 NATO/.223 Rem polymer drum magazine designed for AR15/M4-compatible weapons. The 60-round capacity gives the shooter the same round count as two standard 30-round magazines while keeping overall height controlled for prone firing and easier storage. Features include an easy-to-use loading lever, a paint-pen dot matrix for inventory marking, an antiglare rear window for instant capacity indication, and a slip-on semirigid dust cover. The design seats fully loaded on a closed bolt and is engineered to be left loaded for long-term storage without loss of function. Made in USA.

Price-conscious shooters will note the unit cost at approximately $128.20, which positions this MAGPUL PMAG as a mid-premium option for those who need higher capacity without sacrificing weight or feed reliability.

Design and durability

The polymer construction keeps weight low while providing robust impact resistance. The drum configuration maintains a flat footprint compared to stacked mags, enabling stable prone fire and more predictable balance when handling the rifle. The antiglare rear window provides quick visual confirmation of remaining rounds, and the paint-pen dot matrix lets operators mark magazines for rotation or identification. The slip-on semirigid dust cover helps protect feed lips and rounds in storage or transit.

Caliber and compatibility

The MAGPUL PMAG supports 5.56×45 NATO and .223 Rem, calibers widely used for training, semi-auto competition, and duty applications. This makes it suitable for a broad roster of platforms including M4, M16, SCAR, HK416, MR556, M27 IAR, IWI Tavor and similar NATO-pattern rifles. The unit seats reliably on a closed bolt, a critical detail for users who load magazines before attaching or storing them.

Operational tips: use the loading lever for consistent seating, keep the dust cover in place for storage, and employ the dot matrix to rotate magazines during long-term storage to avoid confusion. For procurement and specifications, View product details and pricing.
