MAGPUL - Original Magpul Assist for 5.56x45 AR15 Magazine ODG 3/Pk

These are great because you can put them on practically any 5.56 magazine, whether USGI or Magpul, or another maker. These are perfect for your plate carrier shingle or tactical vest pouch. The only difficulty with them is how hard they are to install or remove, because they're made to fit very snug and not slip. I found that a flat thin tool like a titanium prybar is helpful in getting the magpul on or off. Then you have to firmly wiggle the magpul on/off millimeter by mm. I use these magpuls on my USGI mags and the ranger plates for my magpul mags.

This was one of MagPuls first products and was designed to be slipped on to USGI aluminum and steel magazines instead of using duct tape and paracord. If you are stuck with this type magazines this is an excellent system for quickly retrieving magazines from pouches. I've even added these pulls to Black Dog's 10 and 15 round .22 caliber magazines. If you have trouble installing them soak in a bowl of hot water and then slip them on. I personally have swapped out all my metal 5.56 magazines for the MagPul Gen 3 magazine with the ranger plate.

Works Great

These work great for magazines as intended. You can slide them down the magazine body further if you need more room in your pouches. If you need them to tell which end of the magazine is up you need more training.

Very nice design and great price. I've used these on GI mags and now on my Magpul mags. Easy to install and they work well.
