    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.
    Can you post a picture or video of this. I have one of the EEAARRLLLYY N2s. 005XX sn.

    I have one of the new Gen3 pmags and thus far I am satisfied with it (in my other ARs.)

    I'd like to see Todd's pics and he points out I cut more than needed, but I posted pics of my M3 mod to fit my FFL here:

    If I were to do it again, I'd follow the suggestion he posted in he thread.

    I had a p mag base plate break this deployment, about 15 degrees up in those nasty mountains...bumbed it it while climbing on a jagged rock and baseplate just cracked and spring, rounds, and follower came out. This is the ONLY malfunction i have seen from a pmag

    Mark, remember it dropped to 52 the other day, we had to bundle up and built a fire for our pmags

    I have the new Noveske and new pmags, we'll test them out this weekend just to confirm the good news.

    I swear, if the apocalypse came in the form of extreme heat, you guys in Arizona wouldn't even notice.

    Interesting, do you have photos by chance? I would like to see where it failed.
