A redesign of their old. Flat and rounded floors. Rounded one is purported to work as a monopod. "Offered in two versions, the MK3 is a 30 round, 5.56mm magazine designed specifically to work with the M855A1 EPR. The two models, MK3 FLT30 and MK3 RND30 differ slightly. The FLT prefix denotes a flat floor while the RND designator is for a round floor which is designed to pull double duty as a monopod."https://soldiersystems.net/2024/04/12/t ... e-the-mk3/

Interesting “monopod.” I wonder how much better it is than a standard magazine bottom.

I embraced using the mag as a monopoly a while back, and it works extremely well. Cool innovation. And it seems they're trying to "seal up" the area where the mag meets the magwell. Others have done this too. I would only find value in that if I was out shooting in a sandstorm.

That looks like it would snag on mag pouches

Someone on M4C pointed out, from the website:
"Cleaning - MK3 cleaning is fast and easy. The magazine body is unitized, with no disassembly required or possible. A quick blast with compressed air through the upside-down ported follower clears any small dust or dirt debris inside the body. Carbon coating due to extended suppressor use is easily cleaned with a hot soapy dunk and magazine brush (sold separately), then rinsed and left upside down to dry."
FUCK that noise, would never want.

Can't believe I missed that before. And I HAVE even hot-washed A2 lowers in the past....but they belonged to the American Taxpayer.
