Re: First Gen PMAGS
I'm pretty sure there were some feed lip issues with the original generation of pmags that were cleared up.
Magpull was doing replacements with afflicted users though.

Re: First Gen PMAGS
They were not defective in any manner. The changes to the "M" revision PMAGs were basically:
1) Changed body design to allow for better compatibility with mag couplers;
2) Changed to a new follower to allow for easier loading with stripper clip spoons/clips; and
3) Changed the base/body to permit the dust covers to be snapped onto the floorplate when not in use.
The Gen 1 mags run great...I still have about a dozen that are running as strong as the day I first loaded them.

Re: First Gen PMAGS
For the reloaders out there SEARCH OUT the first generation OLDER pmags ... they allowed for a longer COAL than the new ones.

Re: First Gen PMAGS
There was a recall on Pmag bodies that had a certain production date(just over 3 years ago). I shipped back 7 bodies to Magpul in 2007 and received replacements. Shipping was paid by Magpul and it was a flawless transaction. The new mag bodies were shipped before they had even received the old ones. I just looked through my emails and it was the last part of July 2007 that I did this. I never had any problems with the Pmags though, I just heard about the recall and noticed that I had some of the production dates mentioned(I believe the date was 6/07). If you look on the left side of the mag, just below the mag catch notch you'll find the production date.
