PROMAG DPMS LR-308 is a 308 Winchester 20rd magazine built to fit DPMS LR308 and SR25 rifles. The magazine body is constructed of heat treated steel with a black phosphate finish for durability under harsh use in the field. A Chromesilicon wire spring and precision molded polymer follower ensure reliable feeding and function. Shop this product

Overview: Purpose-Built for LR-308 and SR25 Platforms

As operators and competitive shooters, we look for components that balance durability, cost, and predictable function. PROMAG DPMS LR-308 addresses all three by delivering a 20-round capacity specifically for 308 Winchester cartridges and engineered to fit DPMS LR308 and SR25 pattern rifles. At a retail price of $21.59, it’s positioned as an affordable, tough spare magazine for patrol rifles and precision rigs alike.

Construction and Durability

The magazine body uses heat treated steel finished in black phosphate — a combination that resists wear, corrosion, and harsh environmental exposure better than untreated steel. For users who train outdoors or store gear in mixed conditions, that finish minimizes surface wear and maintains a functional exterior under repeated insertions and extractions.

Spring and Follower Design

A Chromesilicon wire spring gives the PROMAG DPMS LR-308 a good balance of spring tension and longevity. Chromesilicon alloys are commonly used where fatigue resistance and consistent force over cycles is required. The precision molded polymer follower reduces friction and helps present cartridges uniformly to the feed ramp, cutting down on misfeeds that can compromise a live-fire session.

Feeding Performance and Field Reliability

Feeding a 308 Winchester reliably requires consistent spring pressure and a follower profile that aligns rounds correctly under recoil. The PROMAG DPMS LR-308 was designed with those priorities in mind: the spring’s resilience and the follower’s geometry encourage smooth transition of rounds into the chamber. That makes this magazine a practical choice for duty rifles, hunting platforms, and long-range training setups where interruptions are unacceptable.

Compatibility and Platform Notes

Compatibility is straightforward: this magazine fits DPMS LR308 and SR25 patterned rifles. If your rifle is built on either platform, the magazine’s fitment minimizes wobble and ensures proper engagement with the bolt catch and magazine release. While this magazine is aimed at DPMS-style systems, always check your rifle’s manufacturer guidance and function-test any magazine in a safe environment before relying on it in operational contexts.

Caliber Considerations: 308 Winchester

308 Winchester offers a wide range of bullet choices and is very effective for medium- to long-range engagements, hunting, and precision shooting. A 20-round steel magazine provides a balanced capacity for controlled strings of fire without adding the length or weight of extended magazines, which can affect handling in dynamic situations.

Maintenance, Care, and Longevity

Magazines are consumables that benefit from routine inspection. For the PROMAG DPMS LR-308, keep the following practices in mind:

• Periodically strip and clean the body, spring, and follower to remove debris and fouling.
• Inspect the Chromesilicon spring for any signs of deformation or loss of tension after heavy cycle counts.
• Store magazines unloaded if they won’t be used for an extended period to preserve spring life.

These steps extend service life and maintain reliable feeding in the field.
