Overview
Built for the AR-10A(R) platform, this factory-made 15-round magazine is intended for hunters, competitors, and law-enforcement users who need a purpose-built .308/7.62mm option for compatible rifles. Its heavy-gauge steel body and contoured follower are described as supporting smooth feeding, while the factory-marked floorplate and matte black Parkerized finish keep the design straightforward and utilitarian. It is not a converted magazine, but it is limited to ArmaLite AR-10A(R) rifles and will not fit other makes, models, or Type “A” AR-10s.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- These magazines are specific to ArmaLite AR-10A(R) Type "B" lowers and will not fit other makes or models.
- The 15-round capacity offers a balance for hunting, competition, and law-enforcement use, but it is not the lowest-profile option in the line.
- Steel construction and a parkerized matte black finish are practical, but they add a more utilitarian look than a lightweight or polymer magazine.
- The product is described as a factory-made magazine for AR-10A(R) rifles, so compatibility should be verified carefully before purchase.
