For shooters who demand a rugged, no-nonsense spare magazine that will stand up to hard use, the right choice is one built from proven materials and engineered for reliable feeding in adverse conditions. A solid magazine can be the difference between a mission-ready firearm and an avoidable malfunction.

PROMAG RUGER MINI-14 is a heat-treated steel magazine designed specifically for the Ruger Mini-14 platform. The magazine body is constructed of heat treated steel with a black oxide finish for durability and harsh use in the field. A chromesilicon wire spring and precision molded polymer follower ensure reliable feeding and function.

Durable construction and field-proven components

The PROMAG RUGER MINI-14 leverages a heat-treated steel body and black oxide finish to resist wear, corrosion, and the rigors of repeated loading cycles. Steel bodies hold up better to rough handling than stamped aluminum or polymer in many operational environments, which makes this magazine a practical choice for range training, ranch work, or patrol gear. At a street price of $20.99, it’s an affordable way to increase reliability without compromising durability. Shop this product

Spring and follower: why small parts matter

The chromesilicon wire spring included with the PROMAG RUGER MINI-14 provides consistent tension and long life. Springs are often the first failure point in surplus or budget magazines; chromesilicon alloy resists sag and deformation after many compression cycles. The precision molded polymer follower maintains correct cartridge presentation to the feed lips, reducing the chance of nose-dives and stovepipes.

Fit, compatibility, and tactical considerations

This magazine is intended for the Ruger Mini-14 family; attention to feed geometry and body tolerances ensures smooth insertion and positive lockup. Promag’s components and manufacturing practices are familiar to many shooters who want a reliable spare without premium pricing. Use these magazines in rotation with proper maintenance—cleaning and light lubrication of the spring and follower will extend service life.
