I got a pile of PMAGs with my LMT MWS and one has a tab on the spine of the mag preventing it from seating.  I'm not familiar with which generation would have this feature, but does anyone else know so I can avoid buying more of them when ordering online?  In the mean time, I'll get the Dremel out and buzz it off when I get a chance.  No big deal but annoying to say the least.  Sorry...I don't have any pictures on hand.

None of my other M3’s have this tab. Just bought another M3 7.62 mag yesterday and it did not have the tab either. Hmmmm

Quoted:
All M3s should.

Per Magpul:

"In addition, a redesigned bolt catch notch in the rear of the magazine provides increased bolt catch clearance, while an over-travel stop on the spine helps ensure the magazine will not over-insert on compatible weapons."

Maybe on 5.56 mags...but not 7.62.

It looks deliberate. No worries...10 seconds with a dremel will fix it. Was just wondering as I never saw the tab on any other 762 mag before.

Those were made for the Colt 901

Had a 901 for awhile and the factory PMags had the stop. Can't comment further because I sold it and went SCAR.

Sounds like the best (and only) theory so far. To the dremel it goes.
