Description
Field work and range sessions share a common frustration: small parts disappear the moment you set them down. The Magpul DAKA Magnetic Field Tray in Flat Dark Earth is designed specifically for anyone who breaks down and services firearms away from a dedicated bench — on the range, in the field, or at a tailgate. It gives you a controlled workspace that travels flat and assembles in seconds.
The tray is built from Magpul’s DAKA material, a polymer construction that resists oil, dirt, and debris so the surface stays clean and wipes down easily between uses. The four corners snap together to raise a wall around the perimeter, containing parts that would otherwise roll or slide off a flat surface. When the job is done, those same corners unsnap and the tray lays flat for storage in a gun case, pack, or range bag without taking up meaningful space.
The key functional element is a magnet positioned beneath the Magpul logo at the center of the tray. It holds ferrous components — springs, pins, bolts, and screws — in place without any additional effort on your part. That matters most during high-stress tasks like a bolt disassembly, where losing a firing pin retaining pin or a cam pin can end a range day. The magnet keeps those parts exactly where you put them until you need them.
The small size is deliberate: this tray is sized to handle the parts of a single firearm rather than serve as a general catch-all, which keeps the workspace focused and the tray portable. It suits the shooter who does their own maintenance and wants a purpose-built solution that stores as compactly as it works.
