Description
The ETS Gen 2 AR15 magazine is built from advanced translucent polymer that handles the punishment range and field use can dish out. The clear smoke body means you can see exactly what type of ammo you're running and how many rounds you've got left without removing the mag or manually counting. That visibility matters more than you'd think when you're running multiple rifles with different calibers or simply need to stay aware of your load status mid-range session.
What Makes the Gen 2 Stand Out
The second-generation improvements address things that came up in real-world use. The feed-lip geometry got refined for better compatibility across different receiver tolerances, which means fewer fitment quirks between your mags and rifle. The over-insertion tab is now larger, giving you a more secure fit and better retention when the mag's seated. These geometry updates matter if you've dealt with magazines that rattle slightly or didn't quite lock in smoothly.
Built for Durability Without Compromise
The polymer construction resists impact, chemicals, heat, cold, and UV exposure without becoming brittle over time. A no-tilt follower with a durable steel wire spring delivers reliable feeding and consistent bolt-hold-open on the last round. The removable floor plate disassembles without tools, making cleaning and maintenance straightforward. ETS includes a dust cover to keep dirt and debris out during storage, and the ergonomic floor plate design makes it easy to grab from mag pouches or tactical gear.
You get 30-round standard capacity, mil-spec compatibility, and a slim profile that plays well with standard pouches and carry setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ETS Gen 2 magazine work with my specific AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The Gen 2 magazine is designed to work with any standard AR-15 lower receiver and mag well combination, regardless of brand. The improved feed-lip geometry in Gen 2 actually gives it better compatibility across different receivers than the original version. If you're running a standard mil-spec lower, this magazine will fit and function reliably.
Can I use this magazine with other calibers besides 5.56 and .223?
The 30rd Gen 2 model is designed for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. Some users report that it functions with .300 AAC Blackout as well, though ETS primarily markets it for the two NATO-standard calibers. If you're planning to use it with anything other than 5.56 or .223, verify compatibility with the manufacturer first to be safe.
What's the difference between the Gen 2 and the original ETS AR15 magazine?
The Gen 2 features refined feed-lip geometry for improved receiver compatibility and a larger over-insertion tab for better magazine retention and fit. These geometry improvements address fitment issues that some users experienced with the original generation. If you've had problems with magazine wobble in the past, the Gen 2 addresses that with its updated design.
Is the dust cover included and how does it attach?
Yes, a clip-on dust cover comes with the magazine to protect the rounds and internal components during storage. It simply clips onto the top of the magazine without tools and is easy to remove when you're ready to load rounds or use the magazine. It's a basic but effective way to keep dirt and debris out when the mag isn't in use.
