The ProMag DRMA1-FDE delivers extended firepower with its 50-round capacity designed specifically for AR-10 pattern rifles chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO. This high-capacity drum magazine eliminates frequent reloading during extended range sessions and competitive shooting events.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 20-round magazines, this drum configuration provides 2.5 times the ammunition capacity while maintaining reliable feeding through ProMag's proven spring-loaded mechanism. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) polymer construction offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives. Internal components feature heat-treated steel springs rated for consistent performance across thousands of loading cycles.
