MAG MDT AICS 308/6.5 10RD MTL W/O BP

Description

MDT’s AICS-pattern metal magazine is built for precision bolt-gun shooters who run AICS-compatible chassis or bottom metal and want a magazine that gets out of the way during prone shooting. The defining engineering choice here is MDT’s Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition geometry, which allows the body of the 10-round magazine to sit roughly three-quarters of an inch shorter than a conventional AICS 10-round unit. That difference is meaningful when you’re clearing a mag from the ground: less magazine protruding below the action means fewer fumbles and a cleaner pull during a reload.

The body is formed from high-strength steel, nitrided for corrosion resistance at the substrate level, then coated inside and out with Cerakote Elite. The interior coating does real work here — it reduces friction along the cartridge stack and complements a pair of internal ribs that guide rounds through the double-to-single transition zone smoothly under spring tension.

This variant ships without the front binder plate, which opens up the maximum cartridge overall length to 2.960 inches — useful if you’re seating bullets long for accuracy. The trade-off is practical: without the binder plate guiding cartridges away from the front of the magazine, most common actions will need a small modification to the bottom of the feed ramp to prevent bullet tips from catching. If your action is already relieved or your chassis geometry handles it, the no-plate version gives you that extra seating depth. Compatibility extends across the .308-family short-action cartridges, including 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, .243 Win, .260 Rem, and 6mm Creedmoor.
