Precision shooters that like to save cash by training with .223/5.56 in place of their pricey 6mm cartridges, but there aren't many choices for reliable AICS pattern mags in that caliber. The PMAG 10 5.56 AC offers up a highly engineered solution to the problem of reliably feeding the 223 Rem cartridge and its notoriously stingy bolt face presentation.
FEATURES

  • Compatible with short action AICS-pattern bottom metal and cartridges built on a 0.378” case head such as 5.56×45 NATO (.223 Remington)
  • Accepts cartridge overall length (COAL) of up to 2.39”
  • Single stack, constant-curve internal geometry with 10-round capacity
  • Offset feed lip geometry designed to maximize bolt face engagement and optimize reliability
  • Next-generation impact and crush-resistant polymer construction
  • Self-lubricating follower for increased reliability
  • Long-life stainless-steel spring
  • Paint pen dot matrix panels on the bottom of the body to allow for visual identification
  • Colors: Black
  • MSRP: $40
