Are PMags fairly common among active duty units these days?

"The component of end item (COEI) table in TM 9-1005-319-10 (Aug 16) lists two (2) NSNs for the 30-round magazine: 1005-01-561-7200 and 1005-01-630-9508. The first of these, NSN 1005-01-561-7200, has an AAC of V in FED LOG which means it’s discontinued.

So get a replacement 30-round magazine using NSN 1005-01-630-9508.

The AAL table in TM 9-1005-319-10 (Aug 16) lists two (2) optional polymer magazines that are also authorized for use. They are:
NSN 1005-01-615-5169, PMAG Gen 3 Black
NSN 1005-01-659-7086, PMAG Gen 3 Coyote tan"

Very.

I believe they are the issued mag for the USMC now. I know my buddies still in the Army use them a lot but I think they personal/unit purchase.

PMAG GEN M3 won the magazine reliability testing for the USMC.

They are available for unit purchase. My unit got a bunch of them about 2 years ago.

Probably wouldn't happen for a while, but is the handwriting on the wall for GI aluminum mags?

Only if the writing is on the wall for the M4.
