The ProMag SMI35 delivers reliable feeding for Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 rifles with its precision-engineered 10-round capacity. This aftermarket magazine addresses common feeding issues found in factory alternatives while maintaining consistent performance across various .22 LR ammunition types.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer alternatives, the SMI35 features heat-treated blued steel construction that resists deformation under heavy use. The magazine body maintains dimensional stability across temperature extremes, ensuring consistent feeding geometry. ProMag's follower design incorporates anti-tilt geometry that prevents nose-diving common in rimfire magazines.
