    They still fuck up scars, wont work in AUGs, fs2000s, 'woos, and more. The only thing the m3 solved was the 416 compatibity.
    Well...can't make EVERYBODY happy. 90+% is damn good though:
    "In all fairness to Magpul, the M3 is compatible with more firearms than any of their previous PMAGs. For >99% of users this will not be a problem. I expect the few manufacturers who are producing incompatible designs will soon change them, it being an easy issue to address."

    Well...ya...follow the money.
    "It’s still unclear why TACOM issued the message at this time, but sources say it might have something to do with the $10.7 million contract TACOM Rock Island awarded to Brownells Inc. in 2009 to produce 1.4 million improved magazines by January 2010."

    And as always, they have their out:
    "Army officials acknowledged June 6 that TACOM’s message was poorly written and not intended as a directive on the use of PMAGs. Matthew Bourke, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon responding to questions from Mililtary.com, said the message should have included guidance that the final decision rests with commanders in the field."

    Hk416
    Mr556
    Augs that take stanags
    Msars that take stanags
    Old m16s
    Fs2000
    Fn scar
    Daewoo k1/k2
    Random AR lowers
    M249
    M17s
    More

    So I'll stick with $9 aluminum mags.

    Plastic magazines suck, especially pmags. The fucking things dont work in over half the 223/5.56 semi autos out there.
    Army "unbanned" them a couple of weeks later:
    The Pentagon has clarified the Army’s stance on a recent safety message that effectively banned a certain high-performance, commercial M4 magazine, which means soldiers can keep using their PMAGs.

    Army officials at the Pentagon acknowledged yesterday that TACOM?sent the wrong message to the field in April?when it declared that?polymer magazines, such as the PMAG, made by Magpul?Industries Corp., were not on the authorized list for use in the M4 carbine.


    looks like it's discretionary? also, this article appears only to address the army. what about the marines?

    I only buy metal mags now. And yes I keep loaded mags around. When the final fucktard apocalypse is upon us I don't think calling for reloading timeouts is gonna fly.
    that's why they come with clips.

    I won't by anything but P mags after watching a video of a loaded mag with the spring hanging out the side, and operating flawlessly.
