Magpul D-60 Drum Magazine

The Magpul PMAG D-60 represents a breakthrough in drum magazine design, delivering the first truly reliable high-capacity option for AR-15 pattern rifles. Unlike traditional drum magazines plagued by feeding issues and complex assembly, the D-60 uses Magpul's proven Gen M3 feed tower internals and a revolutionary ratcheting loading lever that eliminates the frustration of loading high-capacity magazines.

The D-60 packs 60 rounds into a surprisingly compact drum configuration that keeps the overall height manageable for prone shooting and storage. The unique design features a clear window on the rear of the drum for instant capacity checks, along with Magpul's signature paint pen dot matrix for identification. The ratcheting loading lever takes tension off the spring during loading, making it possible to fully load the magazine without special tools or excessive hand fatigue.

Battlefield validation came when the Marine Corps authorized the D-60 for use with experimental infantry squads, proving its reliability in the most demanding environments. Users report consistent feeding through thousands of rounds with minimal maintenance. While heavier and more expensive than standard magazines, the D-60 provides a genuine tactical advantage in situations where sustained fire and reduced reloading are priorities.
