When precision, reliability, and field adaptability matter, ammunition feeding solutions deserve the same careful selection as the rifle itself. A durable, user-serviceable magazine that fits hunting regulations yet can be adapted for competition or defensive roles is a valuable tool for any serious shooter.

MAGPUL PMAG is a purpose-built polymer magazine engineered for the .308 Winchester family and other short-action cartridges.

This PMAG 5 7.62 AC features GEN M3 internal geometry for positive feeding and reduced friction, paired with a paintpen dot matrix on the base for quick visual identification in the field. The flared base plate gives a tactile purchase for fast reloads or magazine extraction from an AICS-compatible bottom metal. Priced at $33.20, it ships as a five-round unit to comply with many hunting regulations while the follower can be user-modified to a six-round configuration for competitive or defensive applications.

Design and Features

The polymer body balances impact resistance and weight savings. GEN M3 technology improves reliability across temperature ranges and varying ammo profiles. The paintpen dot matrix lets you label specific loads — ideal for hunters distinguishing match rounds from hunting loads. The flared base plate aids in positive control when transitioning magazines under stress.

Capacity and Modularity

Standard capacity is five rounds for regulatory compliance; however, the follower can be modified by the user to accept a sixth round. This modularity makes the MAGPUL PMAG adaptable to both regulated hunting scenarios and competitive stages where extra capacity is permitted. Compatibility notes: intended for short action AICS-pattern bottom metal (including the Bolt Action Magazine Well for the Hunter 700 Stock). It supports cartridges with a 0.470″ case head such as .308 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Rem, and .243 Win.

Compatibility and Fitment Considerations

Do not use this PMAG with small-base cartridges (.223/5.56, .300 AAC Blackout, .220 Swift) or larger short-action magnums. It is not compatible with Accuracy International AE rifles or semi-auto platforms using SR25/M110 pattern magazines. Due to the variety of aftermarket receivers, stocks, and chassis, minor fitting may be required for some configurations.
