Franklin Armory DFM 10rd Magazine 6.5 Grendel AR-15 Black

The Franklin Armory DFM 0050411BLK delivers reliable feeding for 6.5 Grendel AR-15 platforms with precision-engineered geometry that eliminates common feeding issues. This 10-round magazine features Franklin Armory's proprietary follower design and reinforced construction.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard AR-15 magazines adapted for 6.5 Grendel, the DFM series uses cartridge-specific internal geometry optimized for the Grendel's case dimensions. The anti-tilt follower prevents nose-diving and double-feeds that plague converted 5.56 magazines. Franklin Armory's manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent lockup and drop-free reliability across temperature extremes.

Key Features

• Purpose-built for 6.5 Grendel cartridge dimensions and rim geometry
• 10-round capacity complies with hunting regulations in restricted states
• Anti-tilt follower design prevents cartridge binding and misfeeds
• Mil-spec aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
• Compatible with all STANAG magazine wells and AR-15 platforms
• Self-lubricating follower reduces maintenance requirements
• Witness holes allow quick round count verification

Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding across bullet weights from 90 to 130 grains, including both polymer-tipped hunting rounds and match-grade projectiles. The magazine maintains reliable function in precision rifle applications where single-loading interrupts shooting rhythm. Competition shooters benefit from the predictable feeding that supports rapid follow-up shots without extraction concerns.
