Overview
Built for hunters and shooters using short-action AICS-spec bottom metal, this polymer magazine is intended for cartridges in the .308 Winchester family, including 7.62x51, 7mm-08 Rem, 6.5mm Creedmoor, .260 Rem, and .243 Win. Its 5-round configuration supports hunting regulation compliance, while the user-modifiable follower offers flexibility when a different capacity is needed. The GEN M3 design, paint-pen dot matrix, and flared base plate add practical handling and identification features for use in the field or at the range. Minor fitting may be required with some aftermarket receivers, stocks, chassis, and bottom metal, so compatibility should be checked before setup.
