Magpul PTS – PMAG 120 Round Midcap Magazine

The Magpul PTS – PMAG is a 120 round midcap magazine, modeled after Magpul’s 30 round PMAG for Armalite style rifles.

Magpul PTS – PMAG Bottom Plate

The PMAG has an allen screw as well as a spring loaded button, which keeps the floor plate secure. I originally thought the allen screw also kept the magazine internals in place, but fortunately it doesn’t which accommodates the use of Real Steel PMAG Ranger Plates.

There is a pin, just below the feeder mechanism. I believe that this pin is what is securing the magazines internals, but will confirm later (I cannot find my armorers punch of that pin size right now)

You’ll notice, while the PTS PMAGs resemble the Real Steel PMAGs, side by side comparison shows differences in dimension, design and material used.

The build of the PTS PMAG is solid and as mentioned above, the PTS PMAGs use the real PMAG Ranger Plates. They are only held on by the spring loaded button when you replace the stock floor plate You do not need to use the allen screw.

So far, I’ve test fitted and fired the PTS PMAGs on all my AEG’s that take STANAG type magazines and a few in shop at AEX. Feeding has been flawless for far, but will have more detailed test results after this weekend.

Magpul PMAG PTS on: TM Type 89, TSI Adapter, PPA Adapter

AEG	Fit	Feed	Notes
TM M4 with Magpul Body	Yes	Yes	Magazine has a little side to side play, but all magazines used in this specific body have that issue.
TM M4 S-System	Yes	Yes	Easy fit, no issues.
TM Type 89	Yes	Yes	Tight fit, but usual for any non Type 89 specific magazine.
TM G36c w/PPA Adapter	Yes	Yes	Fit and worked perfectly in the PPA Magwell Adapter.
TM AK47 w/TSI adapter	No	No	This is a problem with the TSI Magwell Adapter.
CA SCAR-L	Yes	Yes	Easy fit, no issues.
CA M15’s (Older)	Yes	Yes	Magazines need a little shove to seat properly
VFC SCAR-L	Yes	Yes	Easy fit, no issues.
VFC 416	Yes	Yes	Easy fit, no issues.

Will add more models later as I can test them.

I’ve seen posts of people bitching about the $32.00 price. To put it in perspective, if a person were to get a Real Steel PMAG for $17.00 avg street price. Add a $22.00 midcap with removable internals. Plus the time it would take to try and modify the Real PMAG enough to accept the midcap internals. You would be at $39.00 just for parts alone.
