Unrivaled Capacity and Dependability: The Magpul PMAG D-60 Drum Magazine

For enthusiasts, competitors, and professionals seeking an unparalleled advantage in sustained firepower and unwavering reliability, the Magpul PMAG D-60 stands as a definitive solution. This isn't just another magazine; it's a meticulously engineered high-capacity polymer drum designed to elevate the performance of AR15/M4 compatible weapons chambered in 5.56x45 NATO and .223 Remington. When the mission demands extended engagement or the training session calls for fewer interruptions, the D-60 delivers a formidable 60 rounds, effectively doubling the standard capacity of two traditional 30-round magazines into a single, compact unit. This innovative design eliminates the need for critical reloads at inconvenient moments, ensuring continuous focus on the task at hand.

Are you frequently wondering how to maximize your AR-15's ammunition capacity without sacrificing reliability or handling? Do you find yourself needing to perform rapid, high-volume fire in competitive shooting or training scenarios? The Magpul PMAG D-60 is crafted precisely for these challenges. Its unique drum configuration is a game-changer, maintaining a manageable height that allows for comfortable prone firing positions – a crucial consideration often overlooked by other high-capacity solutions. Furthermore, its compact footprint simplifies storage and transport, making it a highly practical addition to any gear kit.

Engineered for Superior Performance and User Experience

Magpul's reputation for innovation and quality shines brightly in the PMAG D-60. Every aspect of this drum magazine has been thoughtfully designed to provide a seamless and intuitive user experience while upholding the highest standards of durability and performance.

Robust Construction for Enduring Reliability: The D-60 is built from next-generation impact and crush-resistant polymer. This advanced material selection ensures the magazine can withstand the rigors of demanding environments, whether it's the harsh conditions of a tactical field, the dynamic movements of a competition, or the repeated handling during intense training. This robust polymer construction translates directly into exceptional longevity, giving users confidence that their investment will perform reliably for years to come.

Broad Compatibility Across Popular Platforms: One of the most compelling attributes of the PMAG D-60 is its extensive compatibility. It integrates flawlessly with a wide array of 'STANAG 4179' compliant platforms, making it a versatile choice for a diverse range of firearms. Owners of classic AR15s, modern M4 carbines, and M16 rifles will find it perfectly suited. Beyond the standard AR platform, the D-60 extends its utility to high-performance firearms such as the SCAR™ MK16/16S, HK®416, MR556, and M27 IAR, among others. This broad compatibility ensures that a single high-capacity solution can serve multiple firearms within an arsenal, simplifying logistics and maximizing operational flexibility.

Seamless Operation from the First Round to the Last: A critical design consideration for any magazine is its ability to seat fully loaded on a closed bolt. The Magpul D-60 excels in this regard, ensuring that users can confidently insert a fully charged 60-round magazine without struggle or concern, even when the bolt is forward. This feature is invaluable in tactical situations or competitive stages where every second counts and reliability is paramount.

Dependable Bolt Hold Open Feature: The D-60 is designed to lock the bolt back after the last round for most AR15/M4/HK416 platforms. This crucial feature provides immediate feedback to the shooter that the magazine is empty, facilitating a swift and efficient reload or transition. It's an essential element for maintaining situational awareness and operational tempo. Please note: Inserting an empty magazine and manually cycling the charging handle will not activate the bolt hold open feature. Additionally, this feature may not function optimally with weapons equipped with bolt hold open levers that deviate from Colt-spec standards.

Effortless Loading with Ratcheting Lever: Loading high-capacity magazines can often be a cumbersome and fatiguing task, especially for drum magazines. Magpul addresses this with an integrated ratcheting loading lever. This ingenious mechanism takes tension off the spring, allowing for remarkably easy hand loading, even when filling the magazine to its full 60-round capacity. Say goodbye to sore thumbs and slow loading times; this feature significantly enhances the user experience and reduces preparation time.

Optimized Feed Tower for Diverse Loading Devices: The feed tower of the PMAG D-60 is engineered for maximum versatility. It is fully compatible with most standard loading devices, including USGI stripper clips and their guides, as well as popular aftermarket speedloaders like the StripLULA™. This compatibility ensures that users can employ their preferred loading method, further streamlining the process of preparing the magazine for action.

Designed for Long-Term Readiness: Unlike some magazines that can experience spring fatigue or degradation when stored loaded for extended periods, the PMAG D-60 is specifically engineered to be left loaded for long-term storage without any loss of function or performance. This means you can keep your D-60 pre-loaded and ready for immediate deployment, offering peace of mind and instant readiness whenever it's needed.

Corrosion Resistant for All Environments: All components used in the construction of the Magpul PMAG D-60 are corrosion resistant. This critical feature ensures reliable operation in diverse environmental conditions, from humid climates to dusty ranges, protecting the internal mechanisms and maintaining optimal performance over the lifespan of the magazine.

Simple Disassembly for Easy Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance are vital for the longevity and reliability of any firearm accessory. The D-60 simplifies this process with an design that allows for easy disassembly. A common flat-bladed screwdriver or a similar tool is all that's required to take the magazine apart for thorough cleaning, ensuring grit and debris can be easily removed to maintain peak operational efficiency.

Instant Capacity Indication: A clear, anti-glare translucent window on the rear of the drum provides an immediate and precise visual indication of the rounds remaining. This feature is invaluable for maintaining tactical awareness during intense engagements, training drills, or competitive shooting, allowing users to make informed decisions about reloads without breaking their focus.

Personalized Identification: To aid in organization and personalization, a paint pen dot matrix panel is integrated into the back of the body. This allows users to easily mark their magazines for identification, whether for tracking round counts, designating specific ammunition types, or simply personalizing their gear.

Integrated Dust Cover for Protection: The included slip-on, semi-rigid Dust Cover serves a vital role in protecting the magazine's feed lips and internal components. It effectively prevents the intrusion of grit, dirt, and debris during storage and transport, safeguarding the magazine's integrity and ensuring readiness when deployed.

Real-World Applications and Why the D-60 Excels

The Magpul PMAG D-60 isn't just a technical marvel; it's a practical tool that solves real-world problems for various users:

• Competitive Shooting (e.g., 3-Gun): In dynamic shooting sports where stage design often demands high round counts, the D-60 eliminates the need for multiple reloads mid-stage, saving precious seconds and improving overall performance. It allows competitors to engage numerous targets without interruption, maintaining a faster pace and potentially higher scores.
• Home Defense and Personal Protection: For those prioritizing home or personal defense, the D-60 provides a significant psychological and practical advantage. Having 60 rounds on tap reduces the possibility of running dry in a critical situation, offering enhanced peace of mind and a substantial capability buffer.
• Intensive Training and Range Sessions: Trainers and serious enthusiasts benefit immensely from the D-60. It reduces the frequency of magazine changes, allowing for more continuous training drills, improved muscle memory development, and a deeper focus on fundamental shooting skills rather than administrative tasks.
• Tactical and Professional Operations (where legally permissible): For specific roles requiring sustained suppressive fire or high-volume engagement, the D-60 offers a reliable, lighter alternative to linked ammunition systems in certain scenarios, providing a compact and powerful option.
