A Translucent Breakthrough from Magpul — SHOT Show 2024

in Riley Baxter, SHOT Show 2024

The TMAG 30 AR/M4 GEN M3, released at SHOT Show 2024 is a game-changing 30-round magazine designed for STANAG-compatible weapons chambered in 5.56×45 NATO/.223 Remington.

This highly reliable magazine offers shooters a unique advantage with its durable, translucent material and distinctive olive drab hue.

The TMAG is both stylish and functional.

Crafted from a robust translucent material that was previously unattainable, the TMAG allows shooters to visually confirm ammunition types and effortlessly monitor the current round count.

The olive drab color adds a touch of tactical flair to this innovative magazine. With ribbed front and rear straps facilitating improved grip during magazine changes, the sides are deliberately kept smooth to enhance visibility.

Belonging to the GEN M3 family, the TMAG incorporates the same internal geometry, ensuring unparalleled reliability during firing. The four-way, anti-tilt follower paired with a USGI-spec, stainless-steel spring with a painted coil maintains the “gas gauge” capability, a hallmark of Magpul’s “Window” magazine line.

The magazine body is thoughtfully marked to indicate approximate round counts in a magazine well, while the paint-pen dot matrix allows shooters to apply custom markings.

The low-profile floor plate is also compatible with the full line of PMAG AR/M4 GEN M3 floor-plate accessories.

The TMAG is optimized for Colt-spec AR15/M4 platforms, yet its modified internal and external geometry enables seamless operation with various weapons, including the HK 416/MR556A1/M27 IAR, FN SCAR MK 16/16S, and more.

Made in the USA, this magazine is a must-have IMO.

    Would it have really been that hard to actually load a magazine for a picture so we could see it? Your entire article could be summed up in one sentence! “For $24 you can get Magpul’s new see through magazine” that’s really all you needed. It’s not a “game changer”! The only application this might help is in competition, but most people if they have gone over the course already have their mags loaded and staged ready to go, and nobody is wasting time looking at their magazine.
