The Magpul PMAG D-50 LR/SR transforms high-volume shooting scenarios with reliable 50-round capacity for .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO platforms. This drum magazine eliminates frequent reloads during extended range sessions, competitive events, and tactical applications where sustained fire capability matters most.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional box magazines that max out around 20-25 rounds, the D-50 delivers true 50-round capacity without compromising reliability. The constant-force spring system maintains consistent feeding pressure throughout the entire capacity range. Advanced polymer construction reduces weight by 30% compared to steel drum alternatives while providing superior corrosion resistance and impact durability.
Key Features
- 50-round capacity for .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO cartridges
- Constant-force spring eliminates feeding issues common in high-capacity magazines
- Reinforced polymer body withstands drops and harsh environmental conditions
- Compatible with SR-25, LR-308, and DPMS pattern rifles
- Anti-tilt follower ensures smooth cartridge presentation
- Removable floorplate enables complete disassembly for maintenance
- Textured grip surfaces provide secure handling during tactical reloads
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling across multiple rifle platforms without modification to existing magazine wells. The drum configuration maintains a low profile that doesn't interfere with shooting positions or bipod deployment. Temperature extremes from -40°F to 180°F show no degradation in spring tension or feeding reliability. The magazine functions effectively in sandy, muddy, and wet conditions that compromise lesser designs.
