Description
Anybody running a .50 BMG rifle knows that magazine reliability matters. The Cadex MAG2949 is engineered for the demanding requirements of extreme long-range shooting, with a design that eliminates the feeding issues common in double-stack designs.
Single Stack Design for True Reliability
The MAG2949 uses a single-stack, single-feed (SSSF) configuration instead of the more common double-stack designs. This means cartridges feed straight up from the magazine into the action bore, without the angled feeding that can cause jams and misfeeds. Each round is pushed up by the magazine spring in a straight line, which keeps things simple and reliable. This is the kind of detail that separates magazines built for serious precision work from ones that just hold ammunition.
Built to Last in the Field
Made entirely of steel with a rigid construction, this magazine can handle the punishment that comes with 50 caliber shooting. The anti-corrosion coating protects the magazine against weather and environmental conditions, so whether you're working in wet climates or high-altitude environments, the mag won't degrade. It's military-grade construction that can be easily maintained. The base plate comes off without tools, and the spring can be replaced if needed after years of intensive use.
Compatible with Cadex and PGWDTI Platforms
The MAG2949 is designed specifically for the Cadex CDX-50 TREMOR and PGWDTI LRT-3 rifles in .50 BMG. Before ordering, verify your rifle platform to ensure compatibility. The magazine holds 5 rounds and measures 5.79 inches in length with a 5.575 inch internal length and 1.614 inch width.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles is the MAG2949 compatible with?
The MAG2949 is designed for the Cadex CDX-50 TREMOR and PGWDTI LRT-3 rifles in .50 BMG caliber. These precision rifles are built around this magazine, so compatibility is excellent. Always verify your specific rifle model before purchasing to avoid fitment issues.
Why does the single-stack design matter for a 50 BMG magazine?
Single-stack feeding eliminates the angled feeding problems that can plague double-stack magazines in such a large caliber. Each round is pushed straight up into the bore rather than at an angle, which reduces the chances of jamming and misfeeds during critical shots. This matters more at this caliber because the rounds are so large and the feeding geometry is less forgiving.
Can I maintain and repair this magazine myself?
Yes. The base plate removes easily without any tools, so you can access the magazine spring and clean the interior thoroughly. If the spring ever needs replacement after extended use, you can do that yourself. The steel construction is durable enough that with proper care, this magazine should last through decades of shooting.
How does the anti-corrosion coating protect the magazine?
The anti-corrosion coating prevents rust and surface degradation from moisture, salt, and other environmental factors. This is especially important for a steel magazine that might be exposed to variable weather conditions in the field. The coating maintains the structural integrity and smooth function of the magazine over time.
