Description
If you run a medium-action AICS-pattern rifle in .30-06 or 6.5×55 Swede, this MDT magazine delivers the capacity and reliability you need without sacrificing compactness. It holds 10 rounds and uses MDT's proven Double Stack to Single Feed transition design, which means a shorter overall profile compared to conventional stacked magazines while still feeding smoothly through your action.
Build Quality of the MDT 10rd Magazine
This mag is built from nitrided steel and finished with Cerakote Elite in black. That combination gives you serious durability and corrosion resistance out of the box. The nitride process hardens the steel surface, so it handles rough field conditions and regular use without wearing out the finish or developing rust. The Cerakote coating adds another layer of protection and reduces friction, which matters when you're cycling rounds through your gun.
DSSF Design and Feeding Reliability
The Double Stack to Single Feed transition is one of MDT's signature design features. It lets the magazine stack cartridges efficiently in the bottom while transitioning to a single-feed stack as rounds move up toward the top. This keeps the overall length down compared to a traditional double-stack design and helps prevent jams or mis-feeds. The magazine also features adjustable feed lips, so you get consistent, dependable feeding no matter what batch of ammo you're running.
What You're Getting
This is a medium-action magazine, which means it's sized for rifles with medium-length actions like the Defiance, Surgeon, and other platforms that split the difference between short and long action. It fits any standard AICS-pattern bottom metal or chassis designed for medium-action magazines. The 10-round capacity works well for field hunting or precision rifle situations where you want more ammo on hand than a 5-rounder but don't need the bulk of a 20-round setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this MDT magazine fit my AICS-pattern rifle?
Yes, as long as your rifle has a medium-action AICS-pattern chassis or bottom metal. This magazine is engineered for medium-action platforms like Defiance, Surgeon, and similar builds. Check your rifle's documentation or contact your gunsmith to confirm it accepts medium-action magazines before ordering.
Can I use this magazine for both .30-06 and 6.5×55 Swede?
Absolutely. This magazine is designed to feed both cartridges reliably. The dimensions and feed lips work for both calibers, so you can swap between them depending on your rifle setup. Just make sure you're loading ammunition that matches your barrel's actual chambering.
What makes the DSSF design better than a standard magazine?
The Double Stack to Single Feed transition allows MDT to pack more rounds into a shorter profile. It stacks cartridges efficiently at the bottom, then transitions to single-feed as rounds move toward the top. This reduces overall magazine length without sacrificing capacity or feeding reliability, making it ideal for precision rifle work where a compact package matters.
How durable is the Cerakote Elite finish?
Cerakote Elite is a ceramic-based finish that resists corrosion, impacts, and wear better than traditional blued finishes. Combined with the nitrided steel underneath, this magazine can handle field conditions, salt spray, and rough storage without rust or significant coating damage. It's built to last through years of hard use.
