Key performance features

Geometry and feeding reliability

The constant curve geometry mimics proven AK magazine geometry to promote smooth feeding and reduce round hang-ups. Combined with the anti-tilt, low-friction follower and stainless spring, the PMAG maintains feed angle and consistent spring tension across the full 30 rounds.

Durability and handling

Polymer construction keeps weight down without sacrificing toughness. The removable flared floorplate simplifies maintenance and emergency disassembly. Ribbed gripping surfaces improve positive magazine changes in wet or gloved conditions.

Identification and legal compliance

Paint-pen dot matrix panels on the magazine bottom let units mark magazines by position or load type. For those assembling compliant configurations, the magazine counts as three parts toward 922(r) compliance, easing legal integration into U.S.-made builds.

Use this 5.45x39mm magazine for range training, duty rigs, or as a robust spare in field packs. Its low price point at $15.15 makes keeping multiples practical without sacrificing the reliability expected from Magpul components. View product details and pricing to confirm fitment for your rifle.
