Description
The Archangel LVX brings modern convenience to your SKS without the fussy learning curve. What makes it stand out is the integrated steel lever release mechanism, which gives you that AK-like magazine swap speed while keeping everything tucked into the mag itself. You're not modifying your rifle or dealing with separate parts. The lever is right there when you need it.
Steel Lever Release for One-Handed Swaps
The patented steel lever lets you drop and reload faster than you'd manage with the rifle's original mag catch. It's especially useful if you're running drills at the range or just want the flexibility of faster reloads without any guesswork.
Durable Construction Built to Last
These are made from DuPont Zytel polymer, the same material progun companies rely on for durability. The body is reinforced with carbon fiber and glass, so you're getting serious strength in a lightweight package. The injection-molded follower and heat-treated chrome-silicon spring are designed to feed reliably through hundreds of rounds. Everything's made in the USA and backed by ProMag's lifetime warranty on manufacturer defects.
Real-World Fit Expectations
SKS rifles have different mag wells depending on manufacturer and conversion setup, so fit varies from rifle to rifle. Some owners drop these in with zero fitting needed. Others take 30 minutes with sandpaper or a file to dial in a perfect fit. It's not the magazine's fault, it's just how SKS manufacturing tolerance stacks up. The textured stippled surface gives you solid grip even with wet hands, and at 20 rounds, you get meaningful capacity without awkward bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Archangel LVX magazine fit my SKS without modifications?
Fit depends on your specific SKS make and model. Some rifles accept these mags straight out of the box with no modifications needed, while others may require minor hand-fitting with sandpaper or a file. SKS rifles have varying magazine well dimensions across manufacturers and conversions, so this variance is normal. Getting the duckbill catch to fully engage is the main adjustment.
How does the lever release work on the Archangel LVX?
The patented steel lever is integrated into the magazine body and engages the rifle's mag catch. Press the lever to drop the magazine, just like an AK-pattern rifle. This gives you one-handed mag swaps without needing to modify your rifle's original mag catch or install separate external hardware.
Is this magazine durable for heavy use?
Yes. The magazine body is made from DuPont Zytel polymer reinforced with carbon fiber and glass, backed by a heat-treated chrome-silicon spring. These materials are standard in quality firearm magazines. ProMag backs all their magazines with a lifetime warranty on manufacturer defects, and owners report reliable feeding through hundreds of rounds.
Can I use the Archangel LVX in any SKS rifle?
The LVX is designed for SKS rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm that have been converted to accept detachable magazines. Original SKS rifles with fixed 10-round integrated magazines require conversion first. Many modern aftermarket SKS builds come conversion-ready, but verify your rifle's mag well system before purchasing.
