"It’s still unclear why TACOM issued the message at this time, but sources say it might have something to do with the $10.7 million contract TACOM Rock Island awarded to Brownells Inc. in 2009 to produce 1.4 million improved magazines by January 2010."
And as always, they have their out:
"Army officials acknowledged June 6 that TACOM’s message was poorly written and not intended as a directive on the use of PMAGs. Matthew Bourke, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon responding to questions from Mililtary.com, said the message should have included guidance that the final decision rests with commanders in the field.""Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul HarveyComment

"In all fairness to Magpul, the M3 is compatible with more firearms than any of their previous PMAGs. For >99% of users this will not be a problem. I expect the few manufacturers who are producing incompatible designs will soon change them, it being an easy issue to address.""Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul HarveyComment

It's also important to note a lot of metal mags use magpul followers, so they're getting a piece of that pie also."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
