Why Choose This MDT Short-Action Magazine
No Binder Plate = More COAL Flexibility: The absence of a binder plate helps accommodate longer overall lengths than traditional SAAMI-limited mags—ideal for VLDs, heavy hybrids, and long-ogive match bullets.*
AICS Compatibility: Works with a wide range of AICS-pattern short-action chassis and bottom metals, making integration easy on popular precision rifle platforms.
Reliable Stacking & Feed Geometry: MDT’s follower and feed-lip design promote consistent round presentation and reduce nose-dive or rim lock—critical for fast, trouble-free bolt runs.
10-Round Sweet Spot: The right balance for matches and field use—enough rounds to work a stage or take multiple opportunities without crowding your position.
Rugged Metal Body: A strong, corrosion-resistant black finish shrugs off weather, dust, and range abuse.
*Always verify internal length and your cartridge profile in your rifle before competition or hunting.

Compatibility & Fit Guidance
Chassis & Bottom Metals: Designed for AICS-pattern short-action systems from MDT and many other manufacturers.
Action Inlets: Confirm your stock/chassis is cut for AICS mags and that your catch/latch height is properly set.
Cartridge Families: Optimized for .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor; many .308-based variants (e.g., 6.5x47 Lapua, .260 Rem) can function—validate feeding in your rifle.
Not for Long-Action: This is a short-action magazine. For .300 Win Mag, 7mm RM, etc., use long-action AICS magazines.
COAL Reminder: Without a binder plate, internal space increases—but bullet ogive shape, case taper, and feed-lip engagement still govern reliable cycling.
Real-World Benefits
Better Bullet Options: Seat long, high-BC bullets where your barrel likes them—often improving SD/ES and downrange consistency.
Match-Day Confidence: Smooth loading and consistent pickup support fast bolt runs when the clock is ticking.
Field-Ready Durability: Metal body and protective finish stand up to mud, rain, and pack carry.
Maintenance Made Easy: Serviceable floorplate design streamlines cleaning after dusty stages or wet hunts.
Ideal Use Cases
PRS/NRL & Club Matches: 10-round capacity with reliable feeding for most stages.
Long-Range Practice & Load Development: Experiment with seating depth to optimize accuracy.
Precision Hunting Builds: Carry more rounds without excess bulk; keep your rifle streamlined on bags and bipods.
Setup & Function Checklist
Confirm Pattern: Ensure your rifle uses AICS short-action magazines.
Test COAL: Check your longest intended load for free movement in the mag and smooth chambering.
Cycle by Hand: With the rifle unloaded, verify bolt pickup and ejection from full and partial stacks.
Live-Fire Proof: Validate at the range—prone and from barricades—before match day or a hunt.
Care & Maintenance
Field Strip: Remove the floorplate, spring, and follower to wipe dust and grit.
Light Protectant: Use minimal lube; heavy oils attract debris and can slow the follower.
Inspect Feed Lips: After drops or impacts, check for bends; carefully dress if necessary.
Spring Health: If you notice sluggish feeding, inspect spring tension and follower movement.
