Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to dye a Magpul PMAG?

To dye a Magpul PMAG, first disassemble it. Then, heat water to near boiling (not a full boil) and add Rit Dye. Submerge the PMAG body and base plate simultaneously for about 10 minutes, then reassemble. The amount of dye used affects the dyeing time.

Can you dye any part of a Magpul PMAG?

Yes, you can dye the polymer components of a Magpul PMAG, specifically the magazine body and the base plate. The internal spring and follower are typically not dyed.

What temperature should the water be for dyeing PMAGs?

The water should be heated to near boiling. It's important not to let it reach a full, rolling boil, as excessive heat can compromise the strength of the polymer material in the PMAG.

How long should a PMAG be left in the dye bath?

A general guideline is to leave the PMAG components in the dye bath for approximately 10 minutes. However, this time can be adjusted based on the concentration of the dye solution and how dark you want the final color to be.
