I generally snap up whatever is the cheapest at the moment. I'm not one that cares if I get gen 3 or 4 as I've never had issues with my gen 2s. They're all good in my book
Here's some G3 Pmags for $8.41/mag: http://www.getlockednloaded.com/magpul-pmag-m3-5-56-30rd-blk/

I just shop for the cheapest ones with free shipping. They all work. You can still find some with the Impact/Dust Cover which if you leave your magazines loaded storage life is considered indefinite. I have Gen 2 and Gen 3 models with a without windows and have never had a problem with any of them. The window magazines add a buck or two to the price but you can see how many rounds you have if this is a concern. The new magazines will only be coming in one color so if you have a preference you need to buy the color you want before there gone.
Check out DSGArms they have Gen M2 30rd PMAG Non-Window 2 Pack w/ MAGPUL MAGLINK for $20 plus shipping, the maglink sells for $16 or more by itself. BTW if you don't want the maglink you can sell and almost get your magazines for free.

I bought a pack of 10 gen 3 from Botach a couple weeks ago. Received them quick and for a good price.
Any reason you are looking for 30 round mags? Many people prefer the 20 round mags, as they can be used for prone or bench rest shooting using a bipod. The 30 round mags are too long for bipod use. Just a suggestion.....

Guess my bipod is different than yours as I have no issues. Oh, NICE FRIGGEN CAR!
Thanks! What is the height of your bipod? I think mine is 6-9 inches and I usually have it on the 9" setting....

The mags are for my daughter's BF. He carries 7 of them in field training.
I figured I would buy 10 and give him 7.

I'd have to look as I'm not sure. It's just a UTG bipod so it's nothing special, but the legs are extended a ways as I don't like to scrunch down when I shoot.
I've never had an issue using 30 round mags when shooting. They will hit the table when I try to sit the buttstock pn the bench though.

For some reason, I thought the Magpul mags currently available are Gens 2 and 3, with the Gen 3 being the latest and greatest.
I have stayed with the Gen 2 because they are a bit less expensive. Remember, until the Gen 3s, the Gen 2 Magpuls were the best in the world and better than standard military mags. It is hard to improve on a fully reliable magazine.
In addition, I recently read an article concerning the fact that Gen 3 Magpuls were not compatible with one of the newer rifles - Tavor, perhaps? Or, Beretta? In any event, when I read it, I was glad not to have either the rifle in question or the latest generation Magpul magazine.

Don't limit yourself to Magpul Mags. I've seen some traditional GI style 30 round mags go for anywhere between $5.99 and $10. I picked up 20 D&H 30 round mags with magpul followers for $7 each a month or so ago. I got an e-mail alert this morning. Someone was selling new GI mags for $5 each. I deleted the e-mail and don't remember who had the sale.

I wish the Gen 3 20 rnd wasn't "banannarized", prefer Gen 2 which is straight.

What is the difference in the MOE and the M3. See both links below. The money difference is not important, it is pennies. But what is the real difference in these two items. The person I'm buying for specifically requested GEN3.
