Description
This is the real deal when you want to extend your shooting sessions without constantly reloading. The Steyr AUG 42-round magazine holds double the capacity of typical magazines while maintaining the same legendary reliability that made AUG mags standard-bearers in the firearms world. Built at the factory in Austria with the same precision as the rifle itself, you get a magazine engineered from day one to handle 42 rounds smoothly.
Translucent Design Gives You Clear Visibility
The translucent polymer body with black floor plate and follower does something genuinely useful that other magazines struggle with. You can glance at the magazine from any angle and see exactly how many rounds you've got left. No witness holes, no guessing, no fumbling around wondering if you're about to hit an empty chamber. The clear construction also keeps weight minimal while staying incredibly durable through real-world use.
Built to Function Flawlessly
The 42-round capacity doesn't sacrifice reliability like extended magazines sometimes do. AUG magazines feature a dual-attachment point to the rifle instead of the single connection found in AR-15 magazines, which gives them superior stability and feeding consistency. Pair that with a stainless steel spring and precision polymer feed lips, and you get feeding that just works. The ribbed texture on the body gives you a solid grip even when things get intense on the range or in training.
Why Factory Matters
Steyr didn't design these magazines as an afterthought. The AUG was engineered around proprietary magazines from the beginning, so factory specs mean everything. You get a magazine that fits your AUG without wobble, feeds every round predictably, and will last through hundreds of shooting sessions. The removable floor plate makes cleaning quick and straightforward if you ever need to get inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit all Steyr AUG models?
This magazine is designed for Steyr AUG rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington that use factory proprietary magazines. It won't fit the NATO stock variant which accepts AR-15 magazines. Check your rifle's magazine well to confirm compatibility. If your AUG takes standard factory AUG magazines, this will work perfectly.
Is the 42-round capacity reliable or does it have feeding issues?
The 42-round capacity is just as reliable as 30-round Steyr magazines. These aren't stretched versions of a standard design. Steyr engineered both capacities the same way from the ground up, so you get the same consistent feeding and durability regardless of whether you load 30 or 42 rounds.
What makes AUG magazines better than standard AR magazines?
AUG magazines attach to the rifle at two points instead of one, making them more stable and reliable. They're made from polymer specifically designed to resist deformation, and they were engineered from day one to function with this specific rifle. Combined with the quality control standards Steyr applies to factory parts, you get dependable feeding through hundreds of rounds.
How useful is the translucent design?
Being able to see your ammo count from any angle without removing the magazine is more practical than it sounds. You get a quick visual check during reloads or between strings without fumbling or guessing. It beats witness holes or counting rounds in your head, especially if you're running drills or in a training situation where every second matters.
