Heckler & Kock debuted their new GEN3 Polyner Magazine at Enforce Tac. It is a 5.56mm, 30 round STANAG magazine which is now standard with the HK416 and 433 rifles.
They put quite a bit into the design aesthetic. For instance, the round count window conjures a projectile, moving toward the target.
Speaking of round count windows, there is also a window at the backstrap. The spring has an orange indicator letting you know you are empty.
Grooves for a positive grip extend completely around the magazine’s body, as you can see in this photo of the front aspect.
Here is a view of the feed lips and follower.
It has a removable floor plate.
Made in Germany, the Gen3 PM is available in this RAL8000 shade as well as Black.
Design features will eventually find their way into a 7.62 version as well.
