It will function flawlessly. Gen M3 has a few design improvements but no difference in basic functionality

I have dozens of Mag-Pul Gen 2's. They work in most any AR, and every single one I own. I've never heard of anyone having trouble with them.

I always thought the Gen 3 Pmags were slightly different for better performance in non-AR platforms which use "AR" style magazines.

Pmag dimensions vary slightly.
If your gun has a magwell that is sized to the low end of spec you may run into fitment issues (stacked tolerances). I've only ran across this issue with one lower out of ~2 dozen. Overall they are great mags and should perform flawlessly. |

Mine came with a Gen 2. I have more gen 2's than Gen 3's.

Quote HistoryThanks. Yea, nothing really useful between models. I guess the slimmer base plate is nice for mag pouches. M2 texture is fine, I don't need a dot matrix, and overinsertion hasn't been a problem in an AR-15. So, using an AR-15, I just get whatever is cheapest, M2 or M3. |

The USMC made it more than worth their while. All of mine are Gen 2's. They work just fine with the mil spec rifles they were designed for. |
