Magpul Ranger
Improved M-16 Magazine Components
Magpul built their reputation on providing innovative, well engineered products to shooters at affordable prices. Often these take a factory part and add functionality or improve reliability at very little cost. Magpul often employ glass-reinforced polymer that makes their products very durable and corrosion free but inexpensive to purchase.
One such product is the Magpul M-16 magazine follower. This is now in its third generation. The polymer AR follower has a highly effective anti-tilt mechanism preventing stoppages. The Magpul M-16 follower is self lubricating ensuring smooth operation. A spring stabilizer keeps the spring centred so that it produces a constant force on the rounds in the stack. The edges of the follower are rounded to ensure smoother operation and the ramp angle has been refined to ensure smoother, more reliable feeding.
Another improvement to the factory GI M-16 magazine is the Magpul Ranger Plate. This is an ergonomic handle that replaces the factory floorplate. The Ranger Plate protects the bottom of the magazine when dropped and provides a handle to grasp when extracting the magazine from tight pouches. It also lets you hold onto a partially empty mag with one finger during a tactical reload. The Ranger plate is made of rubber molded over a stainless steel plate that slides into a polymer insert that locks the Ranger Plate in place of the factory floorplate. The result is a very tough assembly. The Magpul Ranger Plate is available in black, dark earth, OD green and foliage green to match the environments in which it will serve or the taste or the user.
The Ranger plate is also available for the Magpul PMAG. The Magpul PMAG Ranger Plateanchor text is very similar to the M-16 Ranger Plate but is designed to slide in to the Magpul PMAG magazine in 20 or 30 round capacity to replace the factory floorplate. The PMAG Ranger Plate features the same handle as the M16 version and includes a loop to enable paracord loops to be tied on in whatever configuration the operator desires. PMAGs can be purchased ready equipped with Ranger plates.
