Overview
Built for AR-15 owners who want extended magazine capacity without moving to a bulky setup, this 60-round magazine is intended for use with .223 Rem and 5.56x45mm. It uses a glass reinforced polymer body and a patent-pending follower system, with last-round bolt hold open integrated into the follower. American Tactical’s exclusive import and distribution arrangement with Schmeisser GmbH places it in the AR carbine or pistol category as a capacity-focused option. The product is specifically noted as built for .223 Rem, so users should verify compatibility with their setup before use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 60-round format adds capacity, but it also means a larger magazine than a standard AR mag, so fit and handling may differ from what you’re used to.
- It is described as being built specifically for .223 REM, even though it is also stated to be designed for .223 REM and 5.56x45mm; users should verify compatibility with their setup.
- The magazine is made from glass reinforced polymer, which is a material choice to note if you prefer metal magazines.
- The last-round bolt hold open is integrated in the follower, so function depends on that built-in system rather than a separate component.
