Had some EMAGS floating around in my mag stash
Turns out they are actually PMAGS in EMAG packaging.

Still sealed never opened .

This happen often or rare ?

Kinda stinks as EMAGS are worth some money and PMAGS aren’t .

The EMag's were Magpul's first try at doing a mag that was friendlier to European STANAG magwells than the M2 PMag's. Unlike most Magpul mags, the Emags are smooth. The M3 PMag was designed similarly to the EMag for greater compatibility, so at that point the EMag was redundant and discontinued.

Magpul's first magazine for STANAG usage for (mainly) European users.

The Gen 1 PMAGs was not interchangeable with certain rifles like the FN FNC.
