Pmags are good to well below what temps most consider extreme cold.
The only issues every seen was in Army testing at like negative 40-50 deg F. Magpul has said they have changed their formula and it's not an issue anymore. |

Question for the hive. Has anyone experienced failure to load issues using Pmag in extreme cold conditions? I was using a few types of magazines at the range and the one 20 Pmag I was using consistently failed. The rounds failed to strip from the magazine and chamber on a number of occassions. I was firing reloads, m193 and tula. All other magazines ran flawlessly The magazine has run flawlessly in warmer conditions it's fairly new only 100 rounds or so through it. The temperature was roughly 15 degrees This was the only Pmag I had on hand, so I'm comparing it to other outings in warmer settings. Straight or was it curved? |

Sounds more of a gun problem then a magazine problem. Strange that
other magazines are working. I would just use that magazine for range work.. I have shot in some pretty cold weather and never had a problem using my 20 round PMAG's. I own both straight & M3's.. What kind of lube are you using? |

15 is cold? Gen 2 and 3 20s and 30s work fine in the winter in Minnesota.

Yes Mapgul states the new version of their PMAG is good to -60. We test and certify M3s down to -60 and MOEs down to -30 . This is for specific impact tests. Reliability wise even the first gen PMags out preformed USGIs in sub zero conditions. |
