Frequently Asked Questions

What new magazines did Magpul announce at Shot Show 2025?

Magpul unveiled four new magazines: a 20-round translucent PMAG for AR-15s, 15, 17, and 21-round magazines for the SIG P320 platform, a windowed PMAG 20 LR for .308/6.5 Creedmoor, and a dedicated magazine for 6mm ARC/338 Norma Magnum.

Why did Magpul not release a straight 20-round PMAG for 5.56mm?
