MK2s are the successive generation.
You can run a can without concern. Can't speak to the Gen 3 Pmag issue, but why worry? You can find a ton of the older Gen 2s which run flawlessly and are available at discount. |

Cool thanks for the info man. I just placed my order :)
And I agree, Id be happy with the older Pmags if I wanted 20's but Id prefer 25 rounders but I thought they only came in the newer gen Pmags. |

They come in both Mod0 (non-free floated, fixed gas block) and Mod1 (free floated, adjustable gas block). I believe the reference to operating suppressed to that you need the adjustable gas block on the current spec, Mod1 version. If you're looking at a Mk220 (which means a 20" barrel) then it's a Mod1 as the Mod0's only offered a 16" as the longest barrel. I can't speak to the PMag issue as I've only ever run the original .308 Pmags in mine (a Mk216, Mod0). |

I thought they just had the second gen .308 mags. Ummm the MK216 and Mk220 use exactly the same lowers. As you can see in the picture I have a Mk216 with a Gen 3 308 mag. A quick Google search would show you that Magpul has had 25 round Gen 3 windows mags for about a year now. |

I thought it was a Mk1 when I glanced at it. |

Either way, he's good to run suppressed with the model he was evaluating. |

pretty sure no more mod0 around unless you find one used. both the 5.56/MK1 and 308/MK2 use their adjustable gas block. Not sure about the DI rifles they sell... but these days I would be surprised if anyone is making a top tier gun that doesn't run at least acceptably with a can attached.

when I emailed PWS about my mod0, they didn't say not to suppress it. they just said that instead of adjusting with gas tube, you need to swap buffer/spring assembly.
