MDT AICS Compatible Metal Magazine - Short Action
Share
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.
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.
6MM CALIBER MAG
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 ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH the following actions:
- Curtis Custom's Axiom and Vector
- GAP Tempest
- Ultimatum Deadline
- and most other commonly available, aftermarket 3-lug actions
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).

MDT 10-round magazines are approximately ¾” shorter in height than standard AICS 10-round magazines due to MDT’s unique Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition design, allowing easier mag changes when shooting prone.
10-round magazine includes 2 internal ribs that help reduce friction between the cartridge and magazine body and provide a smooth transition from a double stack to single feed at the top of the magazine.
