Description
The Ghost MOAB Plus 5 is a baseplate extension built to solve a real problem: the flat, undersized factory PMAG pad just doesn't cut it for reliable magazine handling. This rounded design adds serious grip to your reloads, whether you're running at the range or in a duty situation.
How the MOAB Plus 5 Improves Your Magazine Control
That rounded, flared profile isn't just for looks. The ergonomic shape fits your hand better when you're seating mags under pressure, and the positive magazine seating ensures your mags lock in tight without hunting around. The 2-ounce weight addition is minimal, so you're not changing your rifle's balance noticeably. At just 3.25 inches long, 2.50 inches wide, and 1.25 inches tall, it adds capacity without bulk.
Why the MOAB Plus 5 Wins Over Stock Baseplates
Factory PMAG baseplates are thin and slick. Add 5 extra rounds to your magazine and you get more cartridge weight pressing against a surface that doesn't want to grip your hand. The Ghost design fixes this with finger grooves and a flared shape that actually gives you something to grab. Faster mag swaps, less hand fatigue, better control under stress.
Compatibility and Material
This extension drops right onto Gen3 PMAG magazines in 5.56×45 NATO or .300 Blackout. The matte black finish is durable and finished in hardened polymer that holds up to regular use. Ghost backs this with an unconditional lifetime guarantee, which says something about their confidence in the product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Ghost MOAB Plus 5 work with other PMAG generations or other magazines?
No, this extension is designed specifically for Magpul Gen3 PMAG magazines only. It's not compatible with Gen2 or earlier PMAGs, and trying to force it onto other magazines will damage both the extension and the magazine. Always verify your magazine generation before purchasing.
Does the stock magazine spring work with the MOAB Plus 5, or do I need a longer spring?
The Ghost MOAB Plus 5 is designed to work with the stock PMAG spring without modification. That said, if you notice feeding issues after installation, a longer aftermarket spring designed for extended capacity magazines may help. Most users don't need one, but it's worth knowing the option exists if problems arise.
How easy is it to install the MOAB Plus 5 on my magazines?
Installation is straightforward. Simply unload your magazine completely, push down the spring slightly, and slide the MOAB baseplate onto the magazine body. There are no tools required, and it takes less than a minute per magazine once you've done it once or twice.
Is the Ghost MOAB Plus 5 worth the price compared to cheaper alternatives?
That depends on how much you value magazine reliability and handling. The Ghost design genuinely grips better than flat factory baseplates, and the lifetime warranty is solid backing. If you run these mags regularly or in important applications, the small investment pays for itself in faster, more confident reloads.
