When it comes to AR-15 magazines, choose the one that will work flawlessly every time, no matter what conditions you encounter. The Magpul PMAG 30 Gen M3 magazine is a 30-round 5.56x45mm NATO (.223 Remington) polymer magazine for AR-15/M4-compatible weapons.
Along with an expanded feature set and compatibility, this PMAG 30 magazine incorporates new material technology and manufacturing processes for enhanced strength, durability and reliability to exceed rigorous military performance specifications.

State of the Art
Magpul has long been an Industry leader. It got that way by producing Quality Reliable products proudly made in the U.S.of A. These gen 3 pmags are the standard that all other AR-15 magazines are measured by. They are well made and very sturdy.The over insertion stop on the spine of the magazine is a nice touch!You won’t be able to over insert this magazine which usually results in double feeds with lesser magazines. The ridges on the front and back of the magazine are also a great touch! They’re there to ensure positive grip whenever your hands are wet or oily.Bottom Line I would recommend these magazines to a friend!

Magpul PMAG 30 Gen M3 AR-15 Magazine .223/5.56 30 Rounds Polymer Black

Best Magazines
As with all Magpul products they just work right. Generally the best you can get in any catagory. I'm very pleased with these.
October 18, 2021
yes,
some said if you drop them on concrete it might break, if you drop me on concrete I assure I will break. I have had up too 50 of these over time never had one go bad. I even use them for 9MM conversion for my AR pistol upper in 9mm with MEAN.com insert works falsely. GOOD company great quality. I have 10 round mags, 20 round mags, 30 round round mags.
February 14, 2021
Works Great
These work great. And you can't beat the price. Will buy more.

Best Quality
Always good quality when you get Magpul AR Mags. Never had any problems, they are very reliable. Pros: Reliable
August 21, 2018
I live in a 10 round state can bring a bunch with me
Nice small mag no issues loading. Put through 50 rounds no issues yet. Being that I live in a supressive 10 round only state it's great for lugging around. I can bring much more mags with me without the extra weight.
August 4, 2018
Good quality. Solid build. Will buy more at this price.
Great value for a solid magazine for the AR15. Lots of choices out there and a USAF vet friend highly recommended, so I bought several. Not disappointed at all. Will buy more in future and get some Magpul for my Mini14 as well.

May 18, 2018
Love this magazine
The size is perfect, it is much smaller than I expected for a 10 round magazine. Perfect for shooting on a bench or prone
May 15, 2018
Good magazines
I needed some 10 round magazines to slow my shooting down (was using way too much ammo!). These work great, never had a problem with them!
April 30, 2018
I will buy more of these when they come back in stock!
Really durable. They are smooth in and out of my rifle. I like the fact they come with a dust cover.
April 25, 2018
Can't Beat 'em
PMAG. What more do you have to say? Haven't had one fail ever. Restocking to rotate through the cycle. Pros: Lightweight Cons: Can't afford to buy more!!
April 19, 2018
Very nice Magazines
Fits better than the steel magazines. Loads very easy and cycles through my AR without any problems. Will definuntly be buying more of these.
April 16, 2018
I will have to buy this product again!
This was a gift to my boyfriend. He loved it. He said this is the perfect gift and to not be afraid to get him more if I can't figure out what to give him. He still has to take me shooting and I can't wait!
April 16, 2018
My go to magazine
Very durable and function great. Always my go to magazine for the AR platform.
April 6, 2018
Great product and great company
Love these mags, sturdy, reliable and at an affordable price, buy a ton! Shipping is free after $50 and really 4 is not going to be too many. Get some for yourself or as a gift. Pros: Light weight
April 5, 2018
Honest Review
Some say that the GI mags are better. Personally I have one and its brand I do not know. But either way it is light. Seemingly strong. But the carrier rocks back and forth. Leading me to be concerned about reliability. These polymer mags do not have that problem. They are solid. They are also very strong. Light. Reliable. Also they do not make a large amount of noise like the metal mags do. These also come with a dust cover. The dust cover seats and goes on tight with it being full or empty. The mag itself has enough room to squeeze 1 more round in. I suspect to allow easier loading to full rated capacity and to allow compression for when you do place the dust covers on. But unlike some mags which are rated for 30 rounds and only hold 29 these are legit. Not super rough but plenty of gripability even with wet or greasy hands. I would recommend them and haven't had a feeding issue ever with these mags. Pros: Dust cover Cons: None as of yet with my experience
April 4, 2018
The New Standard for AR Mags
Far superior to any other AR mag I have used. I was a firm believer in the steel/aluminum mags but once Uncle Same made the switch I figured that was good enough for me. I have 7 and I run all types of ammo and different rates of fire.....and the mag is never the weak point. Look for them to go on sale or free shipping and load up. Best prices around.
March 31, 2018

Purchased the magazines for my son's and myself, for varmint hunting and range and target shooting. They have performed just as we hoped, delivered as promised, very good purchase!
March 13, 2018
It's Magpul
As usual when you buy magpul you cant go wrong. They are nice standard capacity 30 round magazines. I have run rounds though all 6 with no feed issues. Easy mag changes no problems. Greatest benefit to magpul gen 3 mags is my hands do not stick to them in the cold montana weather. Overall a great purchase as always.
March 10, 2018
Great
Great as always with Magpul. I love this new Gen3. Feels great with the extra texture for grip.! Will order more.

The standard against all other AR magazines
These pmag magazines are among the best; rugged and reliable. I have never had a jam or malfunction using these magazines.
March 4, 2018
The new standard for AR mags
My new go to for AR mags. Slowly replacing all my metal 30 rounders. I never have any feed problems.
March 4, 2018
Have a Spare
I have not used any of the mags from this purchase. However, based on previous experience with the Gen3 I am sure that they will perform without problem. Always good to have a spare. As the ole boy says "Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it". I expect to purchase more when they are "on special".
March 3, 2018
Winter use
Hard to scuff and works well in very cold weather

Good products,good prices,and great service. Thanks CTD

Good quality!
It ship fast, and it functionality is great.
January 31, 2018
Good product!
These are very nice polymer mags, not cheaply made and fit nicely, imo they are better than millspec mags for ARs, thats just me though. The dust covers came in handy about a week after the purchase while walking my property, I dropped my mag in the snow, picked it up and blew it off and nothing got inside. Oh yea! They make your ar look nasty as well. Pros: Good quality Cons: May break if you drop on pavement
January 14, 2018

Quality and durable product from a reputable company. It does not have a cheap feel to it like some metal magazines. It locks into place better than any of the metal magazines I have had. It is good for adverse environments like in the heat and humidity in Florida.

It is a Magpul PMAG, What would you expect. Easy, reliable, durable, secure lock, decent price. Best of all, only 10 rounds. I love the smaller capacity when hunting. I have no complaints of any of the different Gen-versions. Read up on the one you want, order a few...

This mag out performs Colt's mags 200%. No jams, it has non tilting feed. I just cant believe the smooth slippery feeding. A very well engineered feed. It only takes your fingernail to push the bullet forward with no resistance.

I ordered these blind, needed mags that met California law. Never thought about the fact that these are hard plastic.... But after several hundred rounds though each one I have to say I am in love with these. No issues no signs of real wear. Work flawlessly, I'll order a few more just to stock up at this price.

No feed issues. Locked in perfect every time. Nice grab on the bottom, and slight texture for grip. Put up well with me tossing them in to the dirt and clay. Not fond of the covers so I do not use them other than in storage.

These magazines are very durable and fit perfectly in my AR-15. They don't feel like they should be this cheap or run this reliably but they do. I spent 500 rounds of cheap steel cased ammo at the range this morning with just three Magpul PMAG's and not one single malfunction. I am very satisfied and soon will be buying many more.

Magpul equipment. Enough
Magpul equipment. Enough said! Even though it's low capacity, makes it easier to use for long range shots from my AR with an equipped bipod instead of the longer 30 rounders. Shipping was also pretty quick but I'm not surprised. These guys are my go-to for firearm supplies and accessories!
January 12, 2014

Good magazine. feels sturdy. The only thing that may be misleading is that it says .223/5.56 x 45, which I thought that it was a 45 rnd clip. It was a 30rnd clip after loading it, which is what I bought

As stated above, buy thes
As stated above, buy these. These are real Magpul mags and the best price I have seen. The Gen 3 have a small notch in the back at the follower that eliminates the problem of previous generations of mags where the bolt would rub this area causing FTF. I have shot 100's of rounds through these and they work flawlessly.
December 12, 2013
I love these mags and CTD
I love these mags and CTD was fast!. I asked for more for Christmas and hopefully it's a case of 'em. They'd only be better if they loaded themselves, i'll take care of the unloading.
December 9, 2013
I was originally convince
I was originally convinced to get one of these at one of the big outdoor stores. I took it home and loved it. returned it and ordered FIVE from CTD. I use these for my Mossberg MV P Predator. These mags function flawlessly and actually work better than the factory mag. I will probably be buying more in the future.

Great product. Very happy with CTD shipping - ordered the cheapest shipping optiom which was for 7-10 business days and it still came within three days. Thanks CTD.
November 12, 2013
I was temped, and pursued
I was temped, and pursued, alternate brands thinking that Magpul is just an overpriced average quality product. I was wrong- as far this magazine is concerned (I haven't tried any of their other products). They fit well into my Diamondback DB15B and release from the magwell without any hiccups. The price is right, the quality is great, in my opinion.
October 24, 2013
The 20 of these I purchas
The 20 of these I purchased worked flawlessly in my Bushmaster Carbon-15s, as opposed to the Thermold mags they are replacing (way too many FTFs). The M3 comes with the dust cover, like the earlier PMAGs all did. Cheap for them to include, & makes them much more valuable to me. I'll pay the extra buck or two for the dust cover. But, it seems like that should be the only option they have, like the good ol' days.
October 9, 2013

I just received my 4 magazines and I was surprised to find that they included the dust covers. These feel rugged and fit great in my Bushmaster Carbon 15! This was a great deal. Thanks CTD!!

That was one of the best features. Why would they get rid of it? Maybe only a feature on the S&W M&P version of the PMAGs. Still the best mag out there.
August 12, 2013
Great price for the best
Great price for the best mag out there for a AR. Buy these now while that are only $10 so when Obama tries to take them away you will have them.
August 5, 2013
The Gen 3 is a great mag
The Gen 3 is a great mag for the price & comes with the dust cover. One thing I noticed is that you cannot attach the dust cover to the bottom of the mag like the previous models. Not sure why they did away with that (minus one bullet). The bottom of the mag is a little slimmer than the gen 2.
