Translucent Technological Terror

The window in the side of the magazine wasn't silly enough!

Magpul has released the TMAG!

 


Just under $30 shipped from Midway.

17.3 oz. loaded with 30-rounds of 5.56x45mm Winchester Match 69gr Matchking HPBT.

Unlike a conventional GenM3, it did not come with a dust cover.  It will accept one, however.

The white spring loop lines up with numbers on the side of the magazine telling you how many rounds you have left.

Why would you need the spring loop to tell how many rounds are left in a clear magazine?

Because some of them will be hidden by the magazine well!

How it compares to a PMAG30 GenM3 window.

Same overall length.  Same spring and follower.  Same baseplate.  Same 1.1 lb.; well, almost the same:  TMAG is 17.3 oz, PMAG is 17.8 oz.  Both round to 1.1 lb.

The PMAG has a rough texture and ribs for gripping.

The TMAG is smooth.  It's a completely different tactile experience.

It's neat seeing how the spring and shot column work.

Update: This is my 16,000th published post!  WOW.  I'm chatty.

  1. Looks nice. I wonder if they will start offering them in colored tints or if they will take RIT dye.
