KCI USA KCIMZ036 AR-15 50-Round Drum Magazine 5.56/.223 Clear

The KCI USA KCIMZ036 delivers reliable high-capacity feeding for AR-15 platforms with its 50-round drum design. This clear polymer magazine allows shooters to monitor ammunition levels at a glance while maintaining consistent feeding performance. Built for extended range sessions and competitive shooting applications where frequent reloading interrupts training flow.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 30-round magazines, this drum configuration provides 67% more capacity without compromising reliability. The transparent polymer construction sets it apart from opaque alternatives by enabling visual ammunition tracking. KCI's spring-loaded feeding mechanism maintains consistent pressure across all 50 rounds, addressing the feeding issues common in many high-capacity designs.

Key Features

• 50-round capacity reduces reload frequency during extended shooting sessions
• Clear polymer body allows visual confirmation of remaining ammunition
• Standard STANAG magazine well compatibility fits all AR-15/M4 platforms
• Dual-spring feeding system maintains consistent pressure throughout capacity
• Reinforced feed lips resist deformation under stress
• Tool-free disassembly for cleaning and maintenance
• Drop-free design ensures reliable magazine changes

Range testing demonstrates consistent feeding across various ammunition weights from 55-grain to 77-grain projectiles. The drum's low profile maintains maneuverability in confined spaces while the wide base provides stable support during prone shooting positions. Weather-resistant polymer construction withstands temperature extremes without brittleness or warping that affects functionality.
