Description
Arsenal’s M-47US10 is built for shooters who run AK-pattern rifles in states with capacity restrictions, or anyone who wants a purpose-made low-profile magazine that seats flush and stays there. The body is molded from the same polymer Arsenal uses on the furniture it ships with its own rifles, so the texture and flex characteristics are matched to what the platform expects rather than spec’d independently.
Where this magazine stands apart from most polymer AK magazines is the steel lug insert. On a standard polymer magazine, the lug that engages the rifle’s magazine catch is the same material as the body — functional, but subject to gradual wear from repeated insertions and removals. Arsenal pressed a steel insert into that lug specifically to resist that wear point, keeping the lockup snug and consistent over the life of the magazine rather than allowing slop to develop as the polymer rounds off. That’s a meaningful design decision for any magazine that sees regular range use.
The profile is described by Arsenal as a five-round body — the exterior dimensions are narrower than a standard 30-round magazine — which can matter for prone shooting or bench work where a full-height magazine changes your cheek weld geometry. The follower and floorplate are US-made, and the magazine passes Arsenal’s Russian military-specification drop testing, giving some indication of how the assembly holds up under handling stress. It is available in black polymer and is also offered in a plum variant if color-matching your furniture matters to you.
