MDT Sporting Goods AICS Metal Magazine 223 Rem/5.56 NATO 10-Rd Short Action Black Steel w/ Polymer Extended Feed Lips

The MDT AICS Metal Magazine is a precision-rifle accessory built around the Accuracy International Short Action (AICS) pattern, delivering reliable feeding for .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges. This 10-round extended magazine pairs a high-strength steel body with polymer extended feed lips for smooth, consistent round presentation, and is finished in a durable black Cerakote Elite coating over a nitride-treated surface.

MDT's distinctive double-stack to single-feed (DSSF) transition keeps the magazine compact while the extended feed lips optimize cartridge geometry for short-action precision builds. The 10-round configuration measures 3.055" overall length with a 3.90" rear height - the same height profile as MDT's 10-round .308 metal magazines - so it drops into any chassis or stock cut for AICS-pattern short-action detachable magazines. Maximum cartridge overall length (COAL) is 2.50", and the magazine works with the full .223 Rem family of cartridges.

Engineered for bolt-action precision rifles chambered in .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO on the AICS short-action footprint, this is a straightforward upgrade for custom chassis systems and factory rifles that accept the AICS-pattern magazine. MDT part number 104760-BLK.
