The Strike Industries ARMAG Standard delivers reliable high-capacity feeding for AR-15 platform rifles with its 33-round polymer construction. This magazine addresses the need for extended capacity without the bulk and weight penalties of traditional steel alternatives.
What Makes This Different
The ARMAG Standard utilizes Strike Industries' proprietary polymer blend that maintains structural integrity under sustained firing schedules while weighing 40% less than comparable steel magazines. The internal geometry features optimized feed angles that reduce bolt-over-base malfunctions common in extended capacity magazines. Anti-tilt followers and constant-tension springs maintain consistent cartridge presentation throughout the entire capacity range.
Key Features

Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding across various ammunition weights from 55-grain to 77-grain match loads. The magazine functions reliably in competition environments where rapid reloads are critical, while the extended capacity proves valuable for defensive applications requiring sustained fire capability. Temperature cycling from -20°F to 140°F shows no dimensional changes that affect function.
