Never seen this packaging .... and I thought i was well versed in mags. Seem to have NSN and cage  number , but never remember  seeing any of these issued. And never saw this color of packaging.  Thought they were fake at first . But seem legit . Any history on these. Friend just picked up 3 or 4 of them and am just curious.

M Revs (M2).  After moving forward from the Gen 1.



M Rev included the NSN numbered/marked magazines , only available in black was my understanding.  I've not seen them in any other color.


Magpul statement circa 2012:

"M2/MOE Mags are MRev mags that use the newer material and processing. (this change over happened about 9 months ago)."

Foliage mags were  not made with the new at the time material.  The Gen M3 polymer was made in black, and black only until the sand and later MCT came out.  

That mag is an MREV mag, they didn’t become MOE until the Gen M3 came out.

This was my understanding as well.

Strange that Magpul would refer to them as one and the same, and mark them as such.

A MOE mag is the same design as an MREV mag, but uses the M3 polymer.  they didn’t become MOE until the Gen M3 came out. The foliage, FDE, and OD were never called MOE, they were discontinued prior.
