Magpul Sand PMAG 20 LR Magazines
**DISCONTINUED”
Magpul Sand PMAG LR Magazines – Magpul quietly introduced a new “Sand” color to it’s outstanding line of AR15, M4 PMAGS and PMAG LR/SR 308AR AR-10 Magazines. The Magpul Sand PMAG LR Magazines for AR15 and M4 platforms are in the following capacities:
- 10 rounds PMAG 10 AR/M4 GEN M3, Sand Mfr Part: MAG559SND
- 20 Rounds PMAG 20 AR/M4 GEN M3, Sand Mfr Part: MAG560SND
- 30 Rounds PMAG 30 AR/M4 Gen M3, Sand Mfr Part: MAG557SND
- 30 Rounds with Window (Maglevel) PMAG 30 AR/M4 Window Gen M3, Sand Mfr Part: MAG556SND

The next-generation PMAG 30 GEN M3 is a 30-round 5.56×45 NATO (.223 Remington) polymer magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. Along with expanded feature set and compatibility, the GEN M3 incorporates new material technology and manufacturing processes for enhanced strength, durability, and reliability to exceed rigorous military performance specifications.
While the GEN M3 is optimized for Colt-spec AR15/M4 platforms, modified internal and external geometry also permits operation with a range of additional weapons such as the HK® 416/MR556A1/M27 IAR, British SA-80, FN® SCAR™ MK 16/16S, and others.
Similar to the MOE PMAG, the GEN M3 features a long-life USGI-spec stainless steel spring, four-way anti-tilt follower and constant-curve internal geometry for reliable feeding, and simple tool-less disassembly to ease cleaning.
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. Low profile ribs and new aggressive front and rear texture gives positive control of the GEN M3 in all environments, and a paint pen dot matrix has been added to the bottom panel of the body to allow easy marking by the end user for identification. The new, easy to disassemble flared floorplate aids extraction and handling of the magazine while providing improved drop protection, but is slightly slimmer than before for better compatibility with tight double and triple magazine pouches. An included pop-off Impact/Dust Cover can optionally be used to minimize debris intrusion and protect against potential damage to the top cartridge during storage and transit.

Luth AR MBA Stock
Luth AR MBA Stock 308AR
Luth AR MBA Stock FDE 308 AR
At one of our sister websites MODULARRIFLE.COM there is a project to build a Remington 700 based MDT TAC21 rifle. Part of the process was to select a buttstock, something lighter than a MAGPUL PRS. One of the candidates that came in to view was Luth AR MBA Stock. The Luth AR MBA Stock appears to be in appearances, not construction or materials, an inexpensive skeletonized version of the MAGPUL PRS. I think it’s a great concept and initial reviews on the web are pretty decent. Magpul should take notice.
Note: Clicking either picture above will take you to two different resources for more information and purchasing options. It also helps support this site while costing you nothing.
Product Description
- Fully adjustable: extra 1″ height on cheek rest, additional 1 1/16″ length of pull with extended length buttplate
- Approximately half the weight of competitors’ adjustable stocks The “MBA” weighs just 1.26 lbs.
- Easy to replace and quick to install
- Fits all .223 and most .308 AR style rifles
- Super Strong Glass Filled Nylon
- Weight 2 Pounds
Features
- Modular buttstock assembly for the AR
- Interchangeable with standard A1 or A2 buttstocks or any aftermarket buttstock with overall length of approximately 10.5″
- Length: 10 3/8″ ( 11.5″ extended )
- Sling swivels not included
- Not interchangeable with carbine rifles with telescoping assemblies.
- Fully Ambidextrous and can be comfortably used shooting off either shoulder (Cheek piece pre-installed for right handed shooters but can be installed on either side for right or left hand shooters)

GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL | AR-15 MULTI TOOL
GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 GRIP TOOL with a MAGPUL MOE PISTOL GRIP
As mentioned in an earlier post I ordered a GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL from Midways Amazon store. Now available from Cabelas, the GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL is everything I expected and more. You can see a list of features on the previous post linked above. No reason to repeat myself. First thing I notice is the finish. Feels exactly like a phosphate coated bolt carrier. I like that. The second thing is the tool is first rate quality in fit and finish. The GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL is strong, hard and seems to be made with precision. So far so good.
Installation – First thing I needed to do was remove the bottom cap of the MAGPUL MOE PISTOL GRIP. Always a challenge for a guy with some physical challenges. Once the end cap was removed the Magpul supplied rubber tool holder needs to be removed to allow the GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL to fit properly. The GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL sits about flush with the end of the MAGPUL MOE PISTOL GRIP. I was concerned the tool would rattle as that would be annoying to put it mildly. It does not. It’s actually a perfect fit.
All in all Im quite pleased with the GERBER SHORT STACK AR15 TOOL. Be curious to see if other tools develop from this line.
Note: The GERBER SHORT STACK also fits the MAGPUL MIAD series of AR15 Pistol Grips
