The Lancer L5AWM Gen 2 magazine combines translucent polymer construction with steel feed lips to deliver reliable feeding in AR-15 platforms. This 10-round capacity magazine meets restricted state requirements while maintaining the durability and performance standards demanded by serious shooters.
What Makes This Different
The hybrid design incorporates hardened steel feed lips with a translucent polymer body, eliminating the feed lip deformation common in all-polymer magazines. The steel-reinforced construction provides consistent geometry under stress while the polymer body reduces weight by 30% compared to all-steel alternatives. Visible round count through the translucent walls allows instant ammunition verification without magazine removal.
Key Features
- Hardened steel feed lips prevent deformation and ensure reliable feeding
- Translucent polymer body allows visual round count verification
- 10-round capacity complies with restricted state regulations
- Anti-tilt follower design reduces jamming and double-feeds
- Textured grip surfaces provide secure handling in wet conditions
- Compatible with 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges
- Drop-free design ensures quick magazine changes
Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding through 2,000+ round cycles without failure. The magazine functions reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F, making it suitable for competitive shooting, patrol duty, and hunting applications. The steel feed lips maintain proper cartridge presentation angle even after extended use, while the polymer body resists impact damage from drops onto concrete surfaces.
