Description
MDT’s metal AICS magazines are built for shooters running precision bolt-action chassis systems who want a feeding solution that holds up under field conditions without sacrificing reliability. This 5-round magazine is chambered for .30-06 Springfield and is sized at 3.560 inches in length, which makes it the correct choice for Tikka T3/T3x and Savage Axis long-action chassis builds — not the standard 3.715-inch well found in most other MDT chassis configurations. Getting that length right matters: installing a magazine that is too long for the well will prevent the action from closing, while one that is too short can cause inconsistent feeding under the bolt. If you are unsure which length your chassis requires, confirming your magazine well specification before ordering saves the round trip.
The body is manufactured from high-strength steel rather than polymer, which gives it greater resistance to deformation if it takes a hard impact against a rock or a shooting bench. MDT finishes the steel with Cerakote Elite, a ceramic-based coating that reduces surface corrosion without adding meaningful weight. The AICS-pattern interface is widely used across the precision rifle market, so this magazine is designed to drop into any MDT chassis that accepts that format at the 3.560-inch length. MDT notes this magazine will not feed .300 Remington Ultra Mag, .300 Weatherby, or similar overbore cartridges — the case dimensions on those rounds exceed what this magazine geometry supports.
