MDT AICS-pattern metal magazines are manufactured from high strength steel, nitrided, and finished inside and outside with Cerakote Elite for ultimate durability, corrosion resistance, and friction reduction.

MDT AICS-pattern metal magazines are manufactured from high strength steel, nitride-finished and coated with Cerakote Elite for ultimate durability and performance. The short action magazines are offered for .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor family cartridges, and are available in 5-round, 10-round and 12 round capacity. The 6mm BR magazine is offered for the 6mm BR and family of cartridges, and are available in 12 round capacity. These magazines are designed with a unique Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition design for reduced overall height compared to the industry standard. The 308 based magazines are available with or without the front binder plate. See details below for benefits and limitations of each version.

SPECIFICATIONS

12-Round Magazines for 308:

  • 3.055” Outside Length
  • 2.870” max cartridge overall length (COAL) with binder plate
  • 2.960” max cartridge overall length (COAL) without binder plate (see limitations below)
  • 4.61” Rear Height

12-Round Magazines for 6mm:

  • 3.055” Outside Length
  • 2.505” max cartridge overall length (COAL) with binder plate and spacer
  • 4.61” Rear Height

From testing, we have established that these magazines will work with the following calibers:

  • 6mm BR Norma
  • 6mm BRA
  • 6mm BRX
  • 6 mm Dasher
  • 22 BR

Additionally, through testing, we have found that these magazines do not work out of the box with three lug actions. We have found you can make them work with some tweaking of the feed lips.

BINDER PLATE DETAILS

  • The magazines with front binder plates are compatible with all rifles equipped with AICS-pattern bottom metal or chassis systems. The binder plate holds the cartridges back from the front of the magazines and guides them past the bottom of the feed ramp. The maximum cartridge overall length (COAL) that will fit in this magazine is 2.870”.
  • The magazines without front binder plates allow a maximum cartridge overall length of 2.960”. These are compatible with all AICS-pattern bottom metal and chassis systems, but most common actions such as Remington 700 and Savage 10/11 will require modifications to the receiver (i.e. notching out the bottom of the feed ramp) to prevent the bullet tips from catching on the bottom of the feed ramp (see photo below).
