These magazines are designed with a unique Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition design for reduced overall height compared to the industry standard.

MDT AICS-pattern metal magazines are manufactured from high strength steel, nitrided, and finished inside and outside with Cerakote Elite for ultimate durability, corrosion resistance, and friction reduction.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • 3.055 Outside Length
  • 3.90" Rear Height (same height as MDT 10-rd .308 metal magazines)
  • 2.50 max cartridge overall length (COAL)
  • Polymer feedlip inserts extend ~0.5" past the end of the metal feedlip backer, thus retaining the round longer, helping ensure the tip of the round has entered the chamber before the rear of the round is released.

MDT 10-round magazines are approximately shorter in height than standard AICS 10-round magazines due to MDTs unique Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition design, allowing easier mag changes when shooting prone.

10-round magazine includes 2 internal ribs that help reduce friction between the cartridge and magazine body and provide a smooth transition from a double stack to single feed at the top of the magazine.

COMPATIBILITY

  • 223 Rem
  • 5.56 NATO
  • 5 stars: 76 (79%)
  • 4 stars: 9 (9%)

Works great in my Rem. 700.

Fits and cycles perfectly in my Rem. 700 SPS w/ a R&D Precision bottom metal.

Excellent product. Couldn't be more pleased.

I hate to give this 3 stars. In my expirience, these mags they require an adjustable mag latch for proper function.

Both mags Ive used have been in MDT chassis and with two different Origin actions.

Every other MDT mag has been flawless!

Feeds most rounds fine. Seems like first round loaded with 77gr SMK want to hang up and not feed. Need to look at it closer to see what's causing this.

Solid construction, reliable feeding! I purchased 2-10rd 223 AICS pattern mags for a Howa 1500 SA knowing minor fitting had to be done since Howa’s have a flat bottom receiver. I only had to remove about 1/16” down and 1/16” to the rear off the front face of the mag body using a hand file. No mods needed to the XRS chassis the Howa 1500 is in and they still function with REM 700’s. Metal mags are heavier but they are more customizable.

You guys really need to design these with anti-tilt followers. These mags suck.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and sorry to hear about any issues you are experiencing. We will be reaching out soon to further see how we can help solve this.

Perfect!

In short , they just plain work.
Tried the rest, these are the best functioning and priced AICS SA mags.
The little loader doo hicky works too!

MDT fixed my problem

I just finished the parts order for my custom build and all I needed was an AICS magazine so I had the chassis vendor (not MDT) add one to the list for $200 extra!
It was an AI branded mag from the high end Quebec brand ***ex.
Well that was when the problems started, it would not feed without tossing the shell so hard it would jam the round into the barrel wall. Nothing I tried would make it right until I cut 4 links off the inner spring and then and only then if you racked it as fast as humanly possible it might feed if it didn't feed 2 rounds. I was gutted a $10,000 build and it won't feed or eject reliably?
So I went back to good 'ole MDT and bought their AICS magazine and Voila!
perfect reliability both feed and ejecting.
You guys killed it with this SA magazine not only does it feed and eject perfectly it is also 1 inch shorter and more compact.
Don't waste your money on any other brand of AICS magazine as this one is more sensibly priced and it runs flawlessly.

MDT Metal AICS 223 magazine

I’m using this on a Tikka CTR that has been converted to take AICS magazines. Fit, finish, and function are all top notch. Zero feed issues.

Doesn’t work for 204 Ruger

I bought this mag for my new chassis set up on my Savage 204. It fed fine until the last 4-5 rounds then it quit feeding nicely and the very last round it did not even feed. Mad some modifications to try and help but no luck. Bought a MagPul one and it works nicely. This one went in the trash. I’m sure for a 223 it would work good. I was a little disappointed with the plastic insert fit dimming the quality coming from MDT.

Great Design and Build Quality!

These magazines are amazing! Great design and build quality add up to the very best AICS 223 magazine I have ever seen or used. Very solid, very reliable and with the polymer feed control, very comfortable to load. . . at least as good as an AICS magazine could be. Highly recommended and worth the price.

The plastic insert feed lips

The plastic insert feed lips are at the wrong angle for a . 223 bolt action

Not 10

The tenth round really binds and will not pickup on my origin action. I have purchased an extension with the plans of putting a block in it to fill most of it but relieve the spring just enough to ease the tension on the tenth round as nearly all PRs stages are ten rounds. If this doesn’t work I’ll have to find another option. Everything else about the magazine is great so I’m hopeful this works. I’ll know soon.

Hi John,

It sounds like you may be experiencing a feeding issue. Could you describe the issue further and what you bought to try to correct it?

Works good feeds in old

Works good feeds in old Ruger Americans all weather. May need some adjustments with the latch for the Ruger American but MDT service will get you sorted ASAP.

Doesn't feed well.

First off shipping took 2 months. The mag doesn't feed as well as my 6. 5 and 308 mags. What happens most of the time is as I push to feed the bolt stops and if I back it up a little and go forward again the round will pop up and feed. No speed shooting with that. I have been happy with everything else I have gotten from MDT.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. You may only need to tune your magazine for correct feeding. Please watch the How to Tune Your Magazine Video linked below. If you are still encountering feeding issues, please reach out to our support team at support@mdttac.com. Thanks!

So far so good, these

So far so good, these mags are by far superior to the OEM mags that came with my Ruger American Predator. They feed the rounds quite well and I have yet to have any feeding issues. They feel very sturdy and well made.
