Key features and why they matter

The polymer construction keeps weight low without sacrificing structural integrity—ideal for users who carry multiple magazines. The textured grip molded into the body aids manipulation in low-light or gloved conditions. An anti-tilt follower promotes reliable feeding and reduces the chance of binding during high-round-count drills. The heavy duty noncorrosive stainless steel spring maintains consistent tension over time, resisting rust and preserving function in wet or coastal environments.

Design compatibility

AMEND2 MOD 2 is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for AR-15 platforms that accept standard USGI-style magazines. Its 10 round capacity makes it compliant in jurisdictions with magazine limits while still offering practical capacity for defensive use. Because it was designed as a replacement for M4/M16 USGI aluminum mags, users will find familiar ergonomics with the added benefits of polymer construction.

Maintenance and field considerations

Routine maintenance is straightforward: strip and inspect the follower and spring periodically, and clean the interior body to remove grit. The stainless spring reduces corrosion concerns but inspecting spring tension after heavy use ensures continued reliability. Keep spare magazines rotated into service to avoid spring fatigue.
