Magpul PMAG 30 AR/M4 Gen M3 Rifle Magazine FDE .223 Rem/5.56x45 30/rd

The Magpul Industries PMAG 30 AR/M4 Gen M3 in Flat Dark Earth is a 30-round polymer magazine built for the AR-15, M4, and M16 platform in .223 Rem and 5.56x45mm. This is the Gen M3 version of the magazine that set the reliability benchmark for the black rifle, now offered in the FDE color that pairs cleanly with tan furniture and desert-pattern builds. Shooters looking for FDE PMAGs to match their rig gravitate to this one because it feeds the same in a range bag as it does in the mud. It runs .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO in AR-pattern rifles chambered for either. Browse more rifle magazines at TSA.

Magpul builds the Gen M3 body from a heavy-duty polymer with an anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower that keeps rounds indexed under recoil and hard use. The 30-round capacity fits standard AR-15 magazine wells, and the ribbed, aggressive texture on the FDE body gives a positive grip during reloads. The paint-pen dot matrix on the bottom panel lets you number and track your magazines across a load-out. A flared floorplate speeds stripping for maintenance and helps with positive extraction from tight pouches. Per manufacturer specifications, this magazine carries the MAG557 designation, sold here under MPN MAG557-MCT. It drops free from AR-pattern lowers and takes the same abuse the black version is known for, just in a lighter color.

This magazine earns its keep in training rotations, defensive carbines, and range days where you cycle through a lot of ammunition. The FDE finish makes it easy to separate your 5.56 magazines from any 300 Blackout you run, which matters if you keep both calibers on hand. Buy them in quantity so you always have loaded spares on the bench. If you build across calibers, we also stock a matching 300 Blackout Gen M3 magazine and other AR-15 5.56 magazines for stocking deep. Pair these with your carbine and keep a rotation loaded and ready.
