    We had not identified any issues with snagging then (and still can't duplicate snags that impede use at all), and no one SHOULD have had any of the various pre-production sample field testing mags...cat may have been let out of the bag earlier than intended, however.

    So...if you were reading a review of some the various pre-production field testing mags that may have leaked into hands earlier than we intended, then I apologize. We'd been running them so much that I seriously doubted that anyone could possibly be getting any snagging.

    As it stands, we eventually did get the feedback on some users snagging on bungees when slid to the spine side of the mag being pulled from certain positions in triple mag shingles from a few of the test units, but release went ahead on timeline based partly on feedback from other field testing, dynamics testing, and after we had investigated and taken a hard look at the reports and tried to duplicate. I've got about 40 different mag pouches in my kit pile from the endeavor, Jon and Steve, as well...honestly gave it a hard look. We briefly considered changing the stop, but the benefits vs minimal potential issues make it worth keeping, especially since we couldn't duplicate.

    We will be getting with some of the testing units to see if our pouches of the same brand are different than the ones that had issues, and to see any issues first hand. We're also in communication with the pouch maker.

    We're not dismissing their concerns at all... We're going to dig at it a bit and hopefully find a solution that works for those users.

    Finished up the test (see link above) where we (me and my work buddy who conveniently has a SCAR 16 that I could use but that range wouldn't let us film ) used these mags in 5 ARs and the SCAR 16. Did a drop test with a fully loaded mag on concrete and ran some crappy ammo through them with 0 issues what-so-ever to report. Great mags.

    I really like these, and I'm ordering some, but what a bummer that they don't fit my Noveske! Even the Gen II's are a tight fit in it.
    Guess I'll have to be satisfied with USGI in it, and use the Gen III P-Mag in everything else. Not the best plan, but I like the P-Mag that much.

    Gen II lowers were changed earlier this year for the PMAG GEN M3 in the 4700-4800 serial number range.

    Serial numbers 4800 and above will fit without any modification.

    Earlier lowers have a shelf in the flared section for a magazine with a tab on the rear, unfourtinatly it is slightly narower than the tab on the PMAG GEN M3. I can seat the PMAG GEN M3 with a moderate amount of force in the earlier lowers. I say this not to recommend it, but to show how little needs to be trimmed off just the top corners of the tab to fit.

    Thanks for the input, Todd. I'll be trying the "trim", as my N4 is serialed, 34**. Fantastic carbine, and glad to know I'll be able to use the Gen III's with so little work.
