Description
The Magpul Minus 5 Round Limiter lets you transform a 10, 20, or 30-round PMAG into a 5, 15, or 25-round magazine without touching a wrench or permanently modifying your gear. Just swap out the magazine's floor plate and drop in the limiter, then reassemble. Takes about 30 seconds and reverses just as quickly when you're done.
How It Works With Your PMAG
These limiters sit inside the magazine and replace the standard locking plate, mechanically preventing more rounds from being loaded. The polymer construction is durable and built to last through plenty of range days and hunting seasons. Because you're not permanently altering the magazine body, you keep all your options open. Pull it out whenever you want full capacity back.
Built for Hunters and Sport Shooters
Whether you're gearing up for hunting season or running a course at the range, this pack of three limiters gives you flexibility without forcing you to buy separate lower-capacity magazines. The durable polymer won't wear out or fail during normal use, and swapping them between magazines is straightforward. Made in the USA and built to Magpul's quality standards.
Compatibility Note
Confirm compatibility with your specific Gen M3 PMAG bodies before purchasing. These are optimized for standard 10, 20, and 30-round PMAG AR/M4 Gen M3 magazines in 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington. The 40-round variant and some specialty magazine bodies may require verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these limiters with any Gen M3 PMAG?
These limiters work with standard 10, 20, and 30-round PMAG AR/M4 Gen M3 bodies in 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington. They are not optimized for the PMAG 40 AR/M4 GEN M3 5.56×45 or specialty magazine bodies, so confirm your specific magazine model before purchasing.
Do I need any tools to install or remove the limiter?
No tools required. Simply pull off your magazine's floor plate, insert the limiter, and reattach the floor plate. The entire process takes about 30 seconds and can be reversed whenever you want full capacity back.
Will this limiter damage my magazine?
Not at all. The limiter is completely reversible and doesn't permanently modify your magazine body. You're simply swapping the locking plate, which is why removing and reinstalling it doesn't harm anything.
How many limiters are in a pack?
This is a 3-pack, so you get three limiters. That's enough to outfit three magazines or keep backups for when you're swapping between different magazine setups.
