Why This MDT Magazine
No-Binder-Plate Interior
Removes the internal “binder” ledge found in some AICS mags, giving handloaders and long-ogive bullet users extra OAL headroom for optimal seating depth and ballistic performance.
Tuned Feed Geometry
Precisely formed feed lips and a low-friction follower promote smooth, controlled presentation into the chamber—reducing nose-dive and bolt-over-base malfunctions.
Rigid, Weather-Ready Build
Made from durable steel/aluminum components with a corrosion-resistant black finish, this mag shrugs off rain, dust, and range abuse while maintaining dimensional stability.
Short-Action AICS Compatibility
Fits chassis and bottom metals designed around the AICS short-action standard, including many systems for Remington® 700 SA, Bergara B-14 SA, Savage SA, Tikka (with AICS bottom metal), and other AICS-compatible platforms.*
5-Round, Low-Profile Form Factor
Sits close to the rifle for prone work, barricades, and field carry, while still giving you enough capacity for stages, hunting, and zero confirmation.
*Always verify compatibility with your specific rifle/chassis and bottom metal.
Ideal For
PRC/PRS & Club Matches: Consistent feeding with long-ogive match bullets.
Long-Range Training: Reliable cycling when working from bags, bipods, or tripods.
Hunting: A compact 5-round mag that won’t snag in the field or on blinds.

Fit & Compatibility Notes
Designed for short-action AICS magazine wells.
Compatible with many chassis systems (e.g., MDT, KRG, XLR, Magpul Hunter with AICS bottom metal) and AICS-pattern bottom metals for popular factory actions.
Not for long-action cartridges or non-AICS proprietary mag wells.
Check your action’s feed ramp orientation and mag catch height for optimal lock-up.
Pro Tips for Best Performance
Seat Depth Matters: Take advantage of the no-binder interior to tune COAL for your bullet profile; confirm magazine clearance before live fire.
Break-In & Lube: Cycle dummy rounds to burnish feed paths; a dry-film lube on the follower rails can further smooth stacking.
Torque & Mag Height: Ensure bottom-metal/chassis torque is to spec; improper torque can alter mag latch height and feeding angle.
Ammo Profile: These mags shine with VLD/ELD and other long-ogive projectiles common in .308/6.5 CM precision loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the advantage of “no binder plate”?
A: It increases interior cartridge clearance so you can run slightly longer COAL—great for long-ogive bullets or handloads that like more jump control.
Q: Will it work in my factory stock?
A: Only if your stock or chassis uses short-action AICS-pattern magazines. Many factory stocks do not without an AICS bottom-metal conversion.
Q: Does it support other .308-family rounds?
A: Typically yes (e.g., 7mm-08, .243 Win) within the .308 short-action family, but always function-test your specific load and bullet profile.
Q: Is this polymer or metal?
A: It’s a metal-bodied magazine with a protective black finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
