MDT Metal Magazines – Short Action 5-Round

Description

The MDT Metal Magazines – Short Action 5-Round are manufactured from high strength steel, nitride-finished and coated with Cerakote Elite for ultimate durability and performance. In addition, the short action magazines are offered for .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor family cartridges. It’s available in 5-round, 10-round and 12 round capacity. The 308 based magazines are available with or without the front binder plate. Without a binder plate you get a longer COL (2.960″ vs 2.870″), but they may require modification to the feed ramp of the receiver. Check if your action would be able to feed 2.960″ long cartridges, or have it modified if you want to use magazines without binder plates.

MDT Metal Magazines AICS – BINDER PLATE DETAILS

• The magazines with front binder plates are compatible with all rifles equipped with AICS-pattern bottom metal or chassis systems. The binder plate holds the cartridges back from the front of the magazines and guides them past the bottom of the feed ramp. The maximum cartridge overall length (COAL) that will fit in this magazine is 2.870”.
• The magazines without front binder plates allow a maximum cartridge overall length of 2.960”. These are compatible with all AICS-pattern bottom metal and chassis systems, but most common actions such as Remington 700 and Savage 10/11 will require modifications to the receiver (i.e. notching out the bottom of the feed ramp) to prevent the bullet tips from catching on the bottom of the feed ramp (see photo below).
