So whats the change with the m3 version?
I have not seen one yet. I believe the change will be similar to the change from the Gen 2 to the Gen 3 in the .223/5.56 PMAGS.Quote:

It's had some delays due to everything we've had going on, but it won't be long now.
ETA? I understand, however, how about your best guess :)
Oh. My. God. My OCD is beginning to kick into overdrive. Does this mean all my current 7.62/.308 PMags are obsolete??? Must... Get.... Gen3 7.62/.308 PMags.......Quote:

Sounds good. Will they be offered in fde?
Were there any changes to the lengthwise interior dimensions? I've had a few malfunctions due to longer OAL rounds (such as the 118LR) being a pretty tight fit, causing the rounds to bind up a bit as they move up the stack.
The PMAG GENM3 LR/SR updates were specifically designed and tested to run M118LR and similar length rounds. We've shot A LOT of M118LR recently. Of course, it still runs ball ammo and everything in-between that we've tested. Gen M3 improvements allowed us to better accommodate longer OAL and still be stronger.
No FDE up front. As far as best guess, my best guess would have been this week, which ain't happening, so "soon" is the boldest I'll go on predictions.
