British Army Buy 1 million Magpul EMAGs
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Gear Scout reports that the British Army have purchased 1 million Magpul EMAGs. The EMAG (Export Magazine) is slightly different from the PMAG in order to better accommodate a wider variety of firearms which take STANAG magazines.
Gear Scout also mention that the EMAG now has windows, or MagLevel as Magpul calls them, on each side.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Tell me if Standard GI mag work in HK416 and every rifle that accept standard GI mag who do you think is out of spec? HK or Magpul?
I have Pmag that won't drop free from lowers, yet my GI mag, Lancer, etc have no trouble. Tell me who is out of spec here? The manufacture of the lower or Magpul.
By creating Emag Magpul admitted that the Pmag does not work across the board. They should get rid of Pmag and make Emag the standard.
A H&K 416 will use GI mags the USMC adoptited one that dose.
