Back in May we posted about the Army banning PMAGs and other Non-USGI magazines, well it looks like there was no ban on them afterall. According to Military.com, who initially broke the story, the directive from the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command was poorly worded and never intended to actually ban magazines such as the Magpul PMAG. They have since issued an update which said that unit command staff will have the final say on whether their unit would be able to use non-USGI magazines or not.
All the media coverage must of made them change their minds
