I've got a few blooper PMAG's. I think the first one I seen on here that was a single window Gen1 PMAG. Since then I've been looking.
I got: *Gen3 in a Gen2 wrapper with no markings on back. (Apparently it was a Military test mag) *MOE PMAG package upside down *Gen3 packed with no dust cover *Gen3 Standard packaged in a window wrapper Curious what others may have or seen. This is my favorite so far, a Gen2 that identifies as a Gen1 PMAG. Windows didn't get inserted during mold process, so it looks like a Gen1 Standard. I had hoped it was a single window, as it was new in wrapper but packaged as a Standard .

Not a blooper but I kinda wish I had grabbed the magpul window GI (aluminum) mag I had the opportunity to get years ago.

I think all of you guys who can tell the difference between PMAGs have too much time on your hands.

I've got a half dozen AR/Minii-14 mags from the pre-ban era, they work fine. One is cracked. |

I swear that I received a Promag 20rd magazines in a Gen3 20rd package one time. I didn't realize it until I had already opened the package and dumped it into a pile on the table. I have never purchased Promag AR-15 magazines. I contact Magpul and they denied that it was possible.

On retrospect I should have kept them as that constant force spring made them interesting. Never had any failures with them, but they felt fragile. I also bought two of the Ramline magazines but returned them as they did not fit in my Colt Sporter. |

I have near a full loadout of Ramlines, including one still in the original packaging. The only advertised guns mine won't fit in are two AR-180s; I have a mag that did fit one AR-180. I've tested them in multiple ARs, and in @Commando223 's Mini-14, which worked fine. They're the only pre-ban mags that I don't ship to Massachusetts, and cause me to constantly shop for underpriced Mini-14s. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone got a picture of one? I've never heard of such a thing. Was designed to make the GI mag better... anti-tilt follower, window to view rounds, and the L-plate for impact resistance. They didn't last long, due to windows popping out, that were already a pain in the ass to install. Then they pushed the PMAG and the rest was history!

I think the transparent Pmag is the rarest, probably followed by these. Magpul has/does play with different colors and translucent polymers. They were originally going to come out with Orange/Blue/Green/Pink with Black, FDE, FOL, ODG. Color polymer never worked out. Training facilities did get Orange / Blue PMAG's made but never on commercial market. Only "odd" color to make it to commercial is LaRue UDE. Translucent PMAG's are the hens teeth. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Didn't the G1s all have the window slot molding? Correct, they used the same mold for Window and Standard. Gen2 & 3 there are seperate molds. Windows have to have the plastic window place in the mold and then the polymer is injected around it. If window is left out, like the gen2 found, it looks like the old gen1 Standard. Should have been caught during QC, but they sent it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not a blooper, but I have some blue p-mags. Will they feed normal rounds or only blanks? In the late 80's, had a buddy in Army ROTC, and he loved his M-14 b/c it would actually feed blanks on an FTX, as opposed to an M-16 - long before PMAGs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Will they feed normal rounds or only blanks? ... Normal. Other than the color, they are standard PMAGs. (At least the ones I have are. No idea if they made some blank-only versions for a special contract, etc.) |

Those Maglevel GI mags are too cool. I did not know that was the genesis of the PMAG. I can see were retention and reliability of the window in the aluminum housing would be a bit spotty. How long were they available?

I've got the window and non-window orange PMags that I bought from DSG Arms years ago that were a contract overrun from some agency. I also have the orange Thermolds that were for blanks but with a pocket knife and 5 minutes they could be converted to fire regular rounds.
