    New Generation Magpul - Mag / XTM

    Does anyone know when Magpul will release their new PMags and XTM panels?

    I've been holding off on buying new PMAGS but the schedule went from Spring - Summer - Fall and not sure if they'll update again and say "Soon in 2013".

    XTM - are out of stock in many places so I guess that's coming sooner vs later.

    I think most with a standard AR will prefer the current pmags from the reviews I've read about the new ones. Feed lips snagging seems to be an issue and I haven't read any benefit to standard AR users from the new mags. The new ones were made to be compatible across a wider range of rifles.

    Hey Stickman, can you post pics of the new XTM and PMAG? It would be my Sunday night gun porn. Uber thanks.

    I just tried googling it and can't find it anymore, it might have been taken down. I read it about 1-2 weeks ago and it made the point that the new design of the feed lips made it prone to snag when taken out of conventional mag pouches. I didn't read any positive notes about it other than being compatible across a wider range of rifles. I'm sure others here saw the same review, maybe someone here can provide the link if its still up.

    I found one new reference of a Nov 2012 release date but only in black. I'm not sure if Magpul will release other colors in the new M3 because the quoted text said that with dyes - weakens the plastic.

    I doubt you read a review of the GenM3, because no one has them to review, except Dynamics and the few mil units doing field testing with pre-production samples, and they JUST got them. If there was one, someone will be getting their arse chewed. Also, there is nothing in the design that would cause what you are talking about with feed lips. There have been numerous changes from the PMAG, but the only thing that could snag is the over travel stop on the spine, and I've had no issue in any of the pouches I've been running for the past few weeks. This is the most reliable PMAG yet in our endurance testing, although there wasn't a whole lot of improvement room to be had, it's crazy strong, there are numerous little features that are really nice to haves, etc. There will be an official announcement coming soon about the release and other important things, along with some CRAZY giveaways. Watch our FB and newsletters for coming news.

    XTM enhanced is finalized, some may have seen them at Modern Day Marine. Release announcement is pending. Hand stop kit to follow shortly.

    Lots of stuff about to hit for Q4 and SHOT that you haven't seen yet, and that we have made an effort to stay tight lipped about until we are actually ready to ship...

    New Colors are almost ready, as well.

    We've been busy little bees...

    Certainly nothing in that article to suggest a review, just an expo blurb... I haven't seen any actual "reviews" yet.

    To add, initial release if the Gen M3 will be only in black. Window will be along shortly. There are some things planned that you may not be expecting.
