The ProMag RUGA3 delivers reliable high-capacity feeding for Ruger Mini-14 rifles chambered in 223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO. This 30-round magazine transforms the classic semi-automatic platform into a more tactically viable option for competitive shooting and extended range sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 5-round factory magazines, the RUGA3 provides six times the capacity while maintaining the Mini-14's traditional ergonomics. The blued steel construction offers superior durability compared to polymer alternatives, with heat-treated steel components that resist deformation under heavy use. Spring tension remains consistent through thousands of loading cycles, ensuring reliable feeding even when fully loaded for extended periods.
