ProMag AKA18 40-Round 5.45x39mm AK-74 Magazine Black Polymer

The ProMag AKA18 delivers extended firepower for AK-74 platform rifles with its 40-round capacity in 5.45x39mm caliber. Built from DuPont Zytel polymer, this magazine addresses the need for reliable high-capacity feeding in training and competitive shooting scenarios.

What Makes This Different

DuPont Zytel polymer construction provides impact resistance superior to standard polymer blends while maintaining lightweight handling characteristics. The 40-round capacity extends shooting sessions compared to standard 30-round magazines. Anti-tilt followers and reinforced feed lips ensure consistent cartridge presentation to the chamber. Heat-treated steel springs maintain tension through extended use cycles.

Key Features

• 40-round capacity extends range time and reduces reload frequency
• DuPont Zytel polymer body resists impact damage and chemical exposure
• Anti-tilt follower design prevents feeding malfunctions
• Reinforced polymer feed lips maintain cartridge alignment
• Heat-treated steel spring provides consistent feeding pressure
• Compatible with AK-74 and variants chambered in 5.45x39mm
• Textured grip surfaces improve handling during tactical reloads

Field testing demonstrates reliable feeding through various ammunition types including FMJ and soft-point projectiles. The extended capacity proves advantageous in competitive shooting disciplines and extended training sessions. Temperature cycling from -20°F to 140°F shows minimal impact on feeding reliability. The polymer construction resists corrosion in humid environments where steel magazines might deteriorate.
