    I may be wrong, but as I recall Gen III lowers below a certain serial number had issues. I'm sure you can search for it here.

    I believe it was only the Gen II lowers that experienced mag incompatibility. I have a Gen III that seats/releases old G.I. Mags and the latest Pmags with no issues.

    Maybe so. I am sure he could search for the thread to confirm.

    My early Gen II was not compatible with Magpul M3 mags due to the over insertion stop on the back of the magazine IIRC. I forget the S/N range that was effected by this but after a certain period the gen 2's and I believe all gen 3's should work with the Magpul m3 mags.

    According to this thread it was the early Gen II lowers that experienced hiccups. Apparently the later Gen II's were corrected and run problem free. Serial numbers affected/summary below:
