ProMag REMA4 70rd Drum Magazine .22 LR Remington 597

Description

The ProMag REMA4 fills a practical gap for Remington 597 owners who want serious magazine capacity without breaking the bank. At 70 rounds, this drum magazine cuts your reload frequency significantly, making it ideal for range days where you want to focus on trigger time instead of digging for fresh magazines.

How the REMA4 Drum Loads and Feeds

ProMag equipped this magazine with an integral loading lever that handles the mechanical work for you. Load one round at a time by accessing the loading gear through the cutout on the back of the magazine housing, turn the adjusting wheel counterclockwise to bring down the follower, then insert rounds one at a time. This simple setup beats struggling with a stiff spring, and the internal mechanics stay clean since everything is shielded inside the drum body. Once loaded, the heat-treated chrome silicone wire spring and injection-molded follower drive rounds consistently into the feed tower.

REMA4 Design and Materials

The body is impact-resistant polycarbonate in a translucent smoke finish, letting you see your remaining round count at a glance without opening the magazine. The translucent design isn't just for looks either—it means you can verify ammo levels during rapid-fire sessions or find an empty magazine quickly when you need a swap. Steel-reinforced feed lips grip the magazine well without wobble, which matters when you're cycling rounds fast. Everything is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, giving you real confidence in the product.

Range Use and Compatibility

This magazine drops straight into any standard Remington 597 without modification or fitting work. Some users report that 597s with aftermarket chassis systems may have fitment issues, so if you've upgraded your stock, test fit before purchase. For the standard rifle though, expect it to seat and feed exactly like you'd expect from a quality magazine. The weight is manageable for off-hand shooting, and the smoke finish is practical—it won't show every speck of dirt from the range floor.
