The DuraMag Speed 30-round magazine delivers enhanced feeding reliability for AR-15 platforms chambered in 223 Remington, 5.56x45mm NATO, and 300 Blackout. This detachable magazine features an anti-tilt follower system that reduces feeding malfunctions during rapid fire sequences. The aluminum construction provides durability while maintaining the lightweight profile competitive shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The DuraMag Speed incorporates a specialized orange follower designed to prevent bolt-over-base malfunctions common with standard followers. The magazine body utilizes 6061-T6 aluminum construction with a hard-coat anodized finish that resists corrosion and wear. Internal geometry optimizations allow reliable feeding of both supersonic 5.56 NATO rounds and subsonic 300 Blackout ammunition without modification.
