GenM3 PMags are military issue.
Colt (and FN) rifles are military issue - and are issued with GenM3 PMags.
HK416s and M27s are military issue - and are issued with GenM3 PMags.
SA80 rifles are military issue.
LMT rifles are military issue - and are issued with GenM3 PMags.
BCM rifles are not military issue.
I can find metal AR-15 magazines locally all day long. I cannot find USGI metal AR-15 magazines. I believe that the current US Army aluminum magazine (designed for use with M855A1) is not available commercially. And it's inferior to the PMag, anyway.
I had a Noveske Chainsaw "gen 1" lower that I bought last year, was made in 2016 or 2017, that did not get along with my GenM3 PMags. Some of them worked fine, some of them did not. The lower also did not work with any trigger guard but the aluminum folding variety.
I personally will not be buying any lowers that are not made by LMT, Colt, or the Brownell's retro lowers (I've had two and they both work perfectly with GenM3 PMags) - it isn't worth hoping to get lucky with a BCM or Noveske gen1 lower.
