It has come to the attention of Magpul Industries Corp that a number of users have experienced feeding problems with their PMAGs™ due to unusually tight magazine bodies. The primary symptom is sluggish follower response, or snagging when loaded with more than 20 rounds. These issues are a result of dimensional changes occurring after the PMAG™ left the Magpul factory, and only affect the PMAG™ body. Other PMAG™ components such as the follower, lock plate, floor plate, and impact cover are unaffected.
Improvements in the manufacturing process have resolved this issue on all PMAGs™ dated 7/07 and later. Although this issue affects only a very limited number of PMAGs™, Magpul will replace all PMAGs™ dated 6/07 and earlier. To determine your PMAG’s™ date of manufacture, check the round date code on the upper half of the left side of the PMAG™ (see image). The arrow points to the month of manufacture, and the year is in the center. If you are unsure of your PMAG’s™ performance, we encourage its replacement.
