Description
The Hexmag Shorty carbon fiber magazine pairs the strength of steel with the benefits of polymer in a compact 10-round package. This isn't just a downsized magazine, it's engineered specifically for shooters who value durability and reduced weight without sacrificing reliability. The carbon fiber construction delivers corrosion resistance and temperature tolerance that outlasts standard polymer, making it a solid investment for anyone running an AR-15.
Carbon Fiber Build with Proven Reliability
What sets this magazine apart is the advanced carbon fiber composite body, which gives you a magazine that's lighter than metal while maintaining the strength you need. The patented HEXTURE surface design isn't just for looks either, it provides a genuine grip advantage when you're handling the mag in the field or at the bench. Every magazine ships with a heat-treated stainless steel spring and comes factory lubricated, so you're good to go straight out of the box.
Series 2 Design for Better Function
Hexmag's Series 2 updates include redesigned feed lip geometry that maximizes both strength and versatility across different AR platforms. The addition of stripper clip guides makes faster reloading possible, and the deep catch pocket keeps the magazine locked into your rifle without wobble. Tool-less disassembly means cleaning and maintenance don't require any special gear, just pull the baseplate and you've got access to the internals.
Purpose-Built for Bench and Hunting
The 10-round capacity in a shorty profile makes this magazine genuinely useful for prone shooting or bench rest work. The compact footprint won't interfere with rests or bags, and it sits naturally in your rifle without looking out of place. This is the kind of magazine that works equally well for hunting applications, training drills, or anyone who simply prefers lower-capacity options for their setup. Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty backing every unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the carbon fiber construction compare to standard polymer magazines?
The carbon fiber composite gives you a magazine that's lighter than aluminum or steel while delivering superior strength and corrosion resistance. Hexmag's formula provides better temperature tolerance and durability under harsh conditions compared to standard polymer. You get the best characteristics of both materials without the downsides of either.
Is the Shorty magazine compatible with standard AR-15 magazine pouches?
Yes, the compact 10-round Shorty profile works with most modern AR-15 magazine carriers. The shorter length means it won't stick out as far, which can be an advantage in some setups. If you have specialized pouches designed for shorter mags or hunting applications, this will work even better.
Can I disassemble this magazine for cleaning?
The tool-less baseplate design makes disassembly straightforward. You can pop off the base without needing any tools, access the spring and follower for cleaning, then reassemble. This makes maintenance simple and helps prevent dirt buildup that can cause feeding issues over time.
What makes Series 2 different from the first generation?
Series 2 magazines feature improved feed lip geometry, stripper clip guides for faster reloading, and a deeper catch pocket for more secure seating. The Series 2 update also refined the overall design based on real-world feedback, resulting in a magazine that feeds more reliably and handles faster reloads when needed.
