The Amend2 SCAR MOD3 magazine bridges the gap between AR-15 platforms and 7.62x51 NATO ammunition, delivering reliable feeding for larger caliber builds. This 20-round magazine addresses the need for higher-capacity .308 Winchester feeding in modified AR-15 receivers. Built from reinforced polymer construction, it maintains consistent performance across temperature extremes.
What Makes This Different
The SCAR MOD3 design incorporates feed geometry specifically engineered for 7.62x51 cartridges in AR-15 platforms. Standard 5.56 magazines lack the internal dimensions and follower design needed for reliable .308 feeding. This magazine features a wider body profile and modified follower that ensures consistent cartridge presentation to the chamber. The 20-round capacity provides substantial firepower while maintaining manageable weight distribution.
Key Features
- 20-round capacity for 7.62x51 NATO/.308 Winchester ammunition
- Reinforced polymer body construction resists impact and chemical exposure
- Modified follower geometry optimized for larger caliber cartridges
- Compatible with AR-15 pattern receivers chambered in 7.62x51
- Anti-tilt follower design prevents feeding malfunctions
- Textured grip surfaces for positive handling during reloads
- Witness holes allow visual ammunition count verification
Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding across various bullet weights and profiles common in 7.62x51 loads. The magazine performs reliably in both semi-automatic precision rifles and designated marksman rifle configurations. Temperature cycling from -20°F to 140°F shows no degradation in spring tension or follower movement. The polymer construction resists corrosion from moisture exposure during extended field use.
