Description
The MDT AICS 7-round metal magazine is engineered for short-action magnum cartridges like the 6.5 PRC and 300 WSM. Built from high-strength steel and nitrided for core durability, then finished inside and out with Cerakote Elite, this magazine is designed to handle serious use without flinching. The corrosion resistance and friction reduction from that Cerakote Elite coating means your rounds feed smooth and your magazine stays reliable whether you're shooting in wet conditions or after months of storage.
DSSF Design Keeps Magazine Height Down
The Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition is what sets this magazine apart. Instead of stacking cartridges all the way up, the design transitions from two rounds stacked side by side to feeding single-file at the top. This reduces overall magazine height compared to industry standard AICS magazines, which makes a real difference when you're working prone or managing the magazine during fast reloads. You get the capacity you need without the bulk.
Compatible Across AICS Platforms
This magazine works with all AICS-pattern bottom metal and chassis systems. The magazines are designed without front binder plates, allowing a maximum cartridge overall length of 2.960 inches, which gives you room for longer reloads if you handload. It's worth noting that some common actions like Remington 700 and Savage 10/11 will need receiver modifications to work smoothly with these particular magazines, so check compatibility with your specific platform before assuming drop-in functionality.
Built to Survive Hard Use
These magazines are known for dependable feeding through precision rifle competition, hunting seasons, and field testing. The internal geometry and spring tension are optimized for consistent feeding, and the all-steel construction means the magazine itself won't become a liability after being carried in a pack or dropped on a shooting bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does this AICS magazine work with?
This magazine is designed for short-action magnum cartridges including 6.5 PRC, 270 WSM, 7 RSAUM, and 300 WSM. The DSSF design specifically handles the larger case capacity of these magnums while keeping overall magazine height compact compared to standard AICS magazines.
How does the DSSF design actually make a difference?
The Double Stack to Single Feed transition means cartridges feed side-by-side at the bottom of the magazine, then transition to single-file feeding at the top. This cuts magazine height down without sacrificing capacity, making reloads faster when shooting prone and giving you a lower profile in the mag well. The internal ribs guide this transition smoothly so feeding stays reliable.
Will this magazine work with my Remington 700 or Savage 10/11?
While this magazine is compatible with AICS-pattern bottom metal and chassis, those specific actions typically require receiver modifications to function properly. The magazine without a front binder plate means bullet tips may catch on the feed ramp unless you notch out the bottom. Check your specific rifle platform for compatibility before purchasing.
How durable is the Cerakote Elite finish?
Cerakote Elite provides corrosion resistance and friction reduction, making the magazine reliable in wet conditions and during extended storage. Combined with the nitrided steel body, this magazine holds up through field use, regular handling, and the normal bumps that come with hunting or competition use without degrading performance.
