We kept this close hold until late last week. They are on their way to the usual suspects, however. Should see them as available very quickly, at least until the first deliveries sell out.

MSRP $19.95

Awesome. I appreciate how Magpul waits to release until they have sufficient quantity available.

I think I'd prefer the 20 & 30 round mags for weight, but I'd take a few of these to piss the wacktards off, much rather have a 40 round pmag than a 60 round Surefire, hands down.

Any chance these have been tested with 300 BLK? I'm curious if the spring would be strong enough for 40 rounds of 220gr subs. My 30 rounders work fine but the mag is a bit heavy when fully loaded (although that has nothing to do with brand of magazine).

Thanks for getting these out prior to the mag-cap-limit BS in CO- it is much appreciated for those of us who will be behind enemy lines soon.

I thought they were working on a quad stack magazine. I have no interest in a 40 rounder 30% longer than a 30. If Surefire would make a 40 round magazine just a little longer than a double stack 20 I would be all over it. GH

From Facebook: "With the same compatibility as the 30-round GEN M3, the PMAG 40 provides 10 more rounds of capacity before requiring a reload—which could be a lifesaving difference. This new "safe capacity" offering is ideally suited for those who may need to respond to multiple threats without extra rifle magazines carried on their person, or for military members looking for an extra margin of safety in high-tempo operations".

I love their marketing and messaging! Brilliant!

That's great news for sure. There's been a whole lot of Gen M3 Pmags gobbled up by the masses recently. I'm sure they/we/me will be sucking up these Ranger plates as well. Thanks for the info and continued success of Magpul products.

Cutting it close with the CO mag ban hitting . . . hopefully I can snag a couple when they come out just as one more eff you to Hickenloser and the other progressive azzhats out here. If not, I did manage to pick up a 5 pack of the "Free Colorado" mags when they were announced--so it was great to at least get a hold of those to aid the cause.

Cool. Am eager to pick a few up to play with. Always liked having a couple 40rders around just in case. Price point is awesome as well, though I imagine locally I'll see them running for the MSRP of a Surefire 60rder. But if I can find them for actual MSRP then I will surely grab a few to play with.

If I had known that these were actually finally coming out I wouldn't have blown my load on a bunch of those Bulgarian or whatever they are polymer 40s that were circulating awhile back. They work great, but I trust the Magpul name more. I'm officially cut off for another four months anyway so I'll just have to sit back and drool over pics and reviews.

If they are going with a quad stack mag I am hoping they go with something that doesn't hang any farther down then a 30rder. A 50rder maybe? If they produced something like that then I think they would blow Surefire out of the water.

Duane - when will Magpul be relocating to Wyoming?

Well...we're wrapping up negotiations with a yet unnamed state for the first, most significant portion of the move right now. Sorry...can't confirm or deny any locations while we're still negotiating, just in case something doesn't work out--as soon as we say publicly, "we're going to XX!", we lose a good bit of bargaining position.

HQ and additional manufacturing relocation has been narrowed down to the last few options, and we've got a relocation consultant company working down those options with us.

We've already moved portions of production to 4 other states, including a significant segment of GEN M3 production, but the manufacturing hub will include us as well as a handful of our largest suppliers, who are moving with us. This move will have the majority of the impact on CO.

We were hoping to make some announcements around July 1, as soon as we've finished the arrangements for the first location, but it may take longer. I'm pushing for mid-month at the latest, but we'll see. Believe me...no one wants to get this show on the road more than me. It's just not a small task to make all these arrangements and do so in a fashion that the company can be healthy on the other side of the move.

okdonk, presuming that that hasn't been addressed (it has):

When the time comes that the staff needs your help...we'll find a way to have a hologram of some busty chick with an odd hairdo tell you "Help us, ok-donk, you're our only hope."

Until then, use the Report Post button in the upper right corner of a post to let us know about the questionable ones. That way, somebody with the ability to DO something...instead of just SAY something because it feels good... can see to it correctly.

Thanks bunches.

That goes for the rest of you, as well. Stop dicking the dog, please. It's gross.

True, must hold judgement until they are actually available. But at least Magpul is usually pretty good for making things at a damn reasonable price. Their most expensive product prior to December was what the PRS? Though around here in January and February some where marking Pmags for more. :suicide2:

Not sure why ALL PMAG40 made prior to 07/01 was not dedicated to CO residents. Me and many other non-CO residents got some via Midway, while CO residents who missed the PMAG40 airlift get nothing, unless they were as quick as I was at Midway.

FWIW, I have already promised my PMAG40s to a CO resident who missed out the PMAG40 airlift. Hopefully Midway can deliver in time to make this happen.

The amounts shipped to distribution were extremely small compared to what stayed in CO. Extremely.

We also have one last hurrah left in CO, where there will likely be another shot at the 40s, although it will likely be an in-person, cash and carry affair. This will be advertised on social media, radio, and newspapers, so everyone can get in on it.

We also have one last hurrah left in CO, where there will likely be another shot at the 40s, although it will likely be an in-person, cash and carry affair. This will be advertised on social media, radio, and newspapers, so everyone can get in on it.

You guys rock! Big thanks and much respect!

Actually my tally was:
$18.95 + $9.53 s/h + $3.00 handling fee = $31.48

I added another Magpul product to my order with no change to the s/h and the $3 handling fee went away.

Eagerly anticipating this. I preordered 20 on Brownells, but it's a throw of the dice whether they get them and ship them to me before the Doom comes on 1 July.

Yep. The top 20 rounds have a more ideal spring pressure for feeding in the 30...so using the same spring in the 20 is win/win. Parts commonality and optimized performance.

Unfortunately, there are some who get some problems with closed bolt insertion since they're not used to having 30rd spring pressure in a smaller mag body. It's the same exact insertion force as with a 30, but some think it feels different.

From Facebook: "With the same compatibility as the 30-round GEN M3, the PMAG 40 provides 10 more rounds of capacity before requiring a reload—which could be a lifesaving difference. This new "safe capacity" offering is ideally suited for those who may need to respond to multiple threats without extra rifle magazines carried on their person, or for military members looking for an extra margin of safety in high-tempo operations".

I love their marketing and messaging! Brilliant!

What's the law say? Don't the mags just need to be dated before a certain date?

EricTheRed
06-25-13, 13:30
No, the date thing was a poor attempt by the legislature to get Magpul to stay. They amended teh bill to allow manufacture of anything here if they stamped a date on it. Those would still only be allowed for out of state sales/ distribution though. If you are in Colorado, it is still going to be illegal after July 1 to buy, sell, or transfer, "anything over 15 rds or readily convertible to more than 15 rds". The readily convertible part is what I'm pinning my hopes on for overturning this crap. As it's written I can't buy a new Glock 19 for example and also get mags, making it a de facto gun ban. Hopefully our side has good lawyers. It's also another reason why I have no problem buying the 40's and the "Free Colorado" mags as I think proceeds from those go to the legal fight. (I may be wrong on the 40's, but good on Magpul anyway for continuing the fight)

ETA: AFAIK the ship date (if that's what you meant) must be before July 1 if you have an order, but it doesn't much matter as Cabelas, Midway, and assuming some others, have already stopped sales to CO as of 5-6 days ago.

With the release so recent, no one but us had really had a chance to wring them out. I can assure you, though...although our test crew put in some long hours to fast track the testing so we could release before July 1, we didn't skip anything or shortchange it. 6,000 rounds each mag in the endurance test.

If you don't like Magpul mags, this won't change your mind. If you prefer 20 round mags over 30 round mags, you will not want one of these.

However, if you like PMAG 30s, then you will probably like the PMAG 40. It is exactly what you would expect from a PMAG, except that I was surprised by how I didn't notice the extra weight or length when in my rifle. Until I went prone, it felt just like I was shooting a PMAG 30.

Though I'm not dropping my 30 round mags for these, nor do I expect anyone else to, these are going to do really, really well.

They fit with most bungee top shingles, though the bungees are a little short on others. They are a little long for closed top, but you can usually get one in a closed top pouch designed for 2.

I have Tyr, Tac Tailor, HSGI Taco, and ATS pouches here beside me. The Tac Tailor and ATS could use a longer bungee. Tyr fit fine. Taco, of course is no issue.

How do these do with 300BLK? The rounds/projectiles are heavier, so the % strain on the spring is more than it would be wit a 30 rounder, given proportionately strong springs, I would think, if that makes sense?

Are these reliable with 220gr 300BLK? How about if you drop the mag/ drop hard into prone? Will the round-stack jumble with the added weight, or are these as good as the 30's?

SPQR476
06-28-13, 09:09
.300 BLK is restricted by bullet ogive, not weight, in a PMAG of any kind. The ribs that guide the bullet sides are meant for 5.56. You can broach the ribs, which we do for some dedicated purposes, and then all .300BLK feeds like butter. With unmodified ribs, it depends on ogive/nose profile.

I was corrected yesterday by one of our engineers. We stayed with 200 cycles on the PMAG40, so instead of 6000 rds, each mag survived 8000 just fine. When I saw endurance test results, I assumed the 6k. I didn't think we'd burn 8k per mag, but that's what they did.

Unfortunately, I just don't have the ammo available to run a multi-brand 300 BLK test for the PMAG 40 right now. When I reviewed the PMAG 40 with 5.56, I loaded ten 220gr SMKs on top of ten 115gr UMCs for kicks, and it ran fine. However, it doesn't really differ in shape from the PMAG 30 until after 30 rounds are loaded (to state the obvious).

Until I get things together to reload, I think I'll be doing a lot more 300 BLK shooting with my new Gen M3 PMAG 10s than any other mag. :D It does sound like someone at Magpul has done more extensive testing with 300 BLK than I'll be able to do for a long time, though.

I know they said mid-july, but was assuming they'd ship when Midway and the other big guys shipped theirs out...

Still curious about the 300BLK test data and performance/compatibility of specific rounds.

Anything put out by Remington has been optimized for ogive compatibility with stock PMAGs. The guys in the back are busy, but I'll try to get some additional info compiled.

Nothing scientific but this guy did a review and the .300 blackout seemed to work good for the most part.

*This is for 30 round magazines, IDK what I was thinking by posting it in a thread for 40 round Pmags.*

Thanks,

You guys keep them coming and we will keep buying them.

Anxious for a set of the new sights as well.

Need a 3/8 riser for the MOE/CTR stock, The 1/4 is too low and the 1/2 is too high.

IIRC, the Gen 2 mags are now being made from the same polymer as the Gen 3's. Accurate?

Thanks. I use the 110gr TTSX by Barnes (factory blacktip). I hear it is the same as the 115 Remington, so it should be good to go.

My first impression of the 40 round mag after years of only using 20 and 30 rounders:

It's big...

WS6

Yes, as of later last year. However, the WAY they are made makes a big difference, moreso than material it seems, and the new polymer is to facilittate this method in the gen 3. So gen 2 only got a mild performance bump. Mainly this matters at very low temps.

*I'm not with magpul, but I asked this months ago, and from what I understand, my above is the condensed answer.

I received (2) of the PMAG-40's and thus far they have worked very well. This was an initial test only. The loading wasn't difficult and no issues seating it.

I am going to post some pics after the weekend with a little comparison and different info for people to look at.

These may not be for everyone, but I could definitely see a possible use in 3 gun stuff and competition.

I would like to know their applicability in something like the USMC M27 IAR.

07-05-13, 16:46
G&R tactical had them. I passed on the order when I got to the checkout though due to their $50 min requirement. I just wanted one or two to test to see how well they performed.

Keep an eye out there. Grant made a notification on facebook when he got them in.

07-05-13, 16:47
I'm kind of thinking that Magpul gave them a good work out before releasing them. Given their stellar track record, I don't think I need to "test them out" before buying a few.

Here is a comparison pic of the Surefire 60, the PMAG-40 and a standard PMAG. As you can see the PMAG is somewhat taller than the SF-60 (just under 3/4 inch) according to my measuring tape.

17417

17418

In the prone position it was a little higher, but not to the point where you can't get comfortable. It's obviously not ideal in every situation.
