    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.

    Same material and processing improvements as the 5.56 version. There is an overtravel stop, but due to the larger contact area on the .308 mag well, it doesn't really protrude. We cleaned up some geometry, mag well fit issues, etc., as well, and it's testing amazingly well. Just cleaning up some last issues, and we'll be ready to go. It's had some delays due to everything we've had going on, but it won't be long now.

    ETA on the 308s

    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.......
    Seriously, though. Can't wait to get my hands on some.

    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.

    PMAG 20 LR/SR GEN M3?

    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.

    PMAG 20 LR/SR GEN M3?

    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.
