Description
If you're running an HK 416 or MR556, you need magazines that match the rifle's quality. This is the real deal—a factory Heckler & Koch steel magazine engineered and manufactured in Germany to exacting tolerances. It holds 20 rounds of .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, giving you a lower-profile option when you want something more compact than a 30-rounder.
HK 416 Magazine Design and Construction
The steel construction with HK's anti-friction maritime surface finish means this magazine is built to last through serious use. The curved profile, advanced spring material, and precision-toleranced steel housing work together to deliver consistent feeding every time. These mags have been field-proven by U.S. special operations forces and foreign military units for decades, so they've earned their reputation through real-world work, not marketing claims.
MR556 and AR-15 Platform Compatibility
While designed specifically for the HK 416 and MR556, this magazine will also function in M16, M4, and most AR-15 variants that accept NATO-standard 5.56 magazines. If you're building out multiple rifles or want a magazine that covers different platforms, this works across the board. The 20-round capacity makes it ideal for situations where you need a low-profile loadout or are competing in matches where capacity is restricted.
What Makes HK Magazines Different
These aren't cut corners or compromises. HK didn't choose steel over polymer to make things difficult—they chose it because steel magazines handle extreme conditions better and maintain feed lip integrity over thousands of rounds. The follower and spring geometry are designed to feed reliably without jamming, and the heavy-duty construction means you won't cringe when you drop it or stuff it in a range bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this HK 416 magazine work in my AR-15?
Yes. While designed for the HK 416 and MR556, this magazine will function in standard AR-15, M16, and M4 platforms that accept NATO-standard 5.56 magazines. HK engineered these mags to be compatible across the platform family, so they feed reliably in all NATO-spec 5.56 rifle variants.
Why steel instead of polymer?
Steel magazines hold their shape and maintain feed lip integrity much better over extended use and abuse. The anti-friction maritime finish protects against corrosion, and the heavier construction is more resistant to impact damage if you drop it. For duty or serious training, the added durability is worth the extra weight.
What does the 20-round capacity get me?
The 20-round capacity gives you a lower-profile magazine that's easier to handle and pocket in tight spaces. It's the go-to choice for 3-gun competitors where capacity limits apply and for anyone who prefers a more balanced carry setup over the full 30-round load.
Is this a genuine HK factory magazine?
Absolutely. This is the official HK 416 magazine manufactured in Germany by Heckler & Koch to their specifications. You can verify authenticity through the part number 233609S and the UPC code on the packaging. Factory HK magazines have been the standard-issue choice for military and law enforcement units worldwide for good reason.
