AR-15 Magazine:


The Most Popular ar 15 accessory the Magazine

There's several varieties of magazines available for the AR-15. Steel, Aluminum and Polymer to name a few. Unfortunately they are all not created equal regardless of what materials they are manufactured from. Stick with a brand that's known to be reliable. Good quality magazines don't have to cost allot. C Products ultra reliable 30 round Teflon coated stainless steel magazines are a bargain at $12.95. If you want to spend allot I have heard that the HK mags are the absolute best but carry a $50 price tag. If you need magazines that can be run over by vehicles Magpul and Tapco have addressed those needs very well.

Note: In a tough political climate their will be companies producing inferior magazines to make a fast buck. If a magazine is not 100% reliable its of no value. Destroy it and throw it out, don't sell it to some unsuspecting person. It can very well cost them their life in a time of need.

Brownells has 3 pages of AR-15 Magazines if you want to see more then I have listed here.

Magpul PMAG AR-15 Magazines

Exceptionally rugged, combat- and competition-ready magazine functions flawlessly, even when left fully loaded for extended periods. Corrosion-proof, self-lubricating one-piece body of fiber-reinforced, molded polymer has no spot welds or joints to impair the follower, and the constant internal curve ensures smooth, unobstructed movement of the round stack. Anti-tilt follower stabilizes the stack to help prevent nose-diving and bolt-over-head failures. Heat-treated, stainless steel spring is stress-relieved for optimal performance. Included quick-release magazine cover seals out dirt and alleviates feed lip deformation caused by pressure from a full ammo stack during long-term storage. Withstands the heat from prolonged full-auto fire and is not harmed by most bore cleaners and solvents. Exterior ribbing provides added gripping surface; magazine catch notch, rather than a traditional hole, keeps dirt and debris out. Easy-to-grasp ledge on floorplate aids in extracting magazine from pouches; floorplate removes easily for cleaning. Curved-body 30-Round model is also available in MagLevel configuration with windows on both sides of the magazine and a bright, orange indicator to display ammo level. Compact, straight-body 20-Round model makes a tactical rifle easier to store and retrieve from a vehicle, and provides a stable rest for target shooting. All models available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, O.D. Green, and Foliage Green.

TangoDown ARC-L Magazine

A basic problem for plastic magazines is that they have to have a constant curved interior to be molded in one piece. There is no other way. But the magazine well of the M16/AR-15 weapon system is straight. So much compromise has to be reached from a design standpoint to make the two work together. So side effects of magazines not dropping free, are often seen. The optimum solution would be a straight upper section to properly present cartridges through the magazine well, and a constant-radius lower section to accommodate remaining ammunition. However, this design has been impossible to produce in polymer… until now..

The patent pending two-piece modular construction allows us to create the ultimate magazine for many reasons. In addition to the proper magazine form, we are able to achieve maximum strength and integrity when the components are molded. Precision molding is achieved much easier on two small parts versus one large one. We can also mix materials, impossible with conventional plastic magazines. We can offer transparent lower/high tensile strength upper sectioned magazines that avoid the brittle feed lip issue of all-transparent material construction. Modular construction makes perfect sense for the unprecedented strength- we eliminated the removable floor plate, so the magazine becomes a five-sided box. ARC Mag survives the impact that crushes metal magazines.

ARC Mag takes full advantage of the latest polymers available from the aerospace industry- materials impervious to the effects of solvents & lubricants. After molding, we permanently bond the two sections together with advanced adhesives during manufacturing, so no disassembly is possible, or required. ARC Mag has a unique low-friction semi-floating follower that is slotted to allow for easy magazine cleaning. Just dunk the ARC Mag in hot soapy water, rinse and invert to drain. That’s hassle-free maintenance. ARC Mag also features a premium chromium-silicon spring that is heat treated, stress relieved and moly coated. Life expectancy for this spring is 100,000+ cycles.

The aggressive ridges front and rear. They allow a positive purchase when seating the ARC Mag. The deep waffle pattern on the magazine’s sides assist in rapid extraction from mag pouches. Every surface on the ARC Mag was given careful consideration to help out the operator.

ARMATAC 150 Round AR-15 CL-MAG Magazine

Armatac Industries, a Virginia-based magazine manufacturing company, is the first to develop a reliable and efficient 150 round magazine for the .223/5.56mm rifle.

The CL-MAG is Designed to fit NATO standard (STANAG-4179) rifles and quickly converts a rifleman with a standard M4 into automatic support personnel. The 150 rd magazines have been routinely emptied through the standard AR-15 setup without weapon failure. The flexibility of such force multiplication makes the CL-MAG™ the most dominant accessory for the AR/M4/M16 family of weapons.

The CL-MAG™ was designed to have the lowest operating drag due to friction. The ammunition is contained individually inside the drums on sprockets, each cartridge gets its own separate space, the ammunition is picked off the sprockets when they spin, not a typical high friction convergence found on cheaper designs. This is why our drums do not require graphite lubrication to work. The drum shell is designed to guide the cartridges with ridges and this also allows for the drum shell case to accumulate chamber residue from extended high volume usage.

WEIGHT– 3.95 lbs. dry: a fully loaded 150 round CL-MAG and an M4 are lighter than an unloaded M249.

DESIGN– Ammunition is contained individually inside the drum on sprockets, affording each cartridge its own separate space. Individual rounds are picked off the sprockets when they spin, unlike other dual drum designs with high friction convergence.

To be used in conjunction with 30-round magazine as a force multiplier.

ARMATAC 150 Round AR-15 CL-MAG Magazine

The CL-MAG external shell is constructed of durable aircraft quality aluminum. Internal components are comprised of lightweight polymers. Surface lubrication and durability is achieved with a hard anodized finish. These factors contribute to give the CL-MAG outstanding performance never seen before in high capacity magazine devices.

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

When installed in the rifle, the CL-MAG is the exact vertical height of a standard M-16/AR-15 30-round magazine.

The CL-MAG can replace some of the M249 belt-fed weapons with a lighter, high-volume firing automatic rifle that is a better logistical fit within military units.

Patents Pending, MSRP $997.00
