Description
PTS MultiTaskerTools Magpod Base Plate 3-Pack (Black)
The PTS Magpod is a replacement base plate that turns the bottom of a magazine into a stable shooting support. This pack contains three, in black, so you can fit them to a full set of magazines.
Resting the magazine on a barricade, a car bonnet or the ground is a common way to steady a rifle in a prone or supported position. A standard flat base plate can rock and slip, and the Magpod is designed to give a broader, grippier contact patch instead.
Design
PTS describes a body made from 15 per cent glass-fibre-reinforced PA6 nylon, with an over-moulded grippy base pad for traction on hard surfaces. The footprint is shaped to minimise rocking when the magazine is used as a monopod, and stippled side panels help your grip when pulling the magazine from a pouch. A dot-matrix area lets you mark each magazine with a number or symbol.
Each base plate is listed as about 75 x 45 x 35mm and about 60g. It replaces the standard floor plate and fills the space in front of it.
In use
Magpods also make it easier to grab and strip a magazine from a pouch, and the extra bulk at the base can help on reloads. Check that your pouches still fit the magazines with the base plate fitted.

Compatibility
PTS lists it for PTS EPM magazines and PMAG-style base plates. Base plates for other magazine designs may differ, so check your magazines before ordering, and contact us if you are unsure.
Care and maintenance
Wipe off mud and grit after use and check that the base plate is still firmly locked on before each game. Do not use solvents on the base pad. If you remove a base plate, keep the magazine spring under control as it comes out.
Who is it for?
This pack suits players who use PTS EPM or PMAG-style magazines and want a steadier rest in prone or supported positions, as well as easier magazine handling.
