The ProMag SKSA5 transforms the SKS rifle from a 10-round stripper clip system into a modern tactical platform with reliable 20-round capacity. This detachable magazine eliminates the need for cumbersome stripper clips while maintaining the SKS's proven reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard fixed magazines, the SKSA5 features a drop-free design that enables rapid reloading under stress. The DuPont Zytel polymer construction provides military-grade durability at half the weight of steel magazines. Internal geometry matches original SKS specifications to ensure consistent feeding with both FMJ and soft-point ammunition.
Key Features

Field testing demonstrates reliable function through 500+ round sessions without cleaning or maintenance. The magazine feeds consistently at temperatures from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for hunting, competition, and tactical applications. The polymer construction resists corrosion from moisture and cleaning solvents that can damage steel magazines over time.
