When selecting a defensive magazine for an AR platform, reliability and construction matter more than brand hype.

Design and materials

The heat‑treated steel body gives the PROMAG AR-15 body rigidity and resistance to deformation, which is critical for maintaining consistent cartridge alignment. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance without adding glare. The precision molded polymer follower reduces friction and helps prevent nose‑dive or tilting that can cause double feeds. These features make the magazine a practical choice for regular use and storage in diverse environments.

Spring and feeding behavior

The chromesilicon wire spring specified for the PROMAG AR-15 offers superior spring life compared with generic wire types. That means more cycles before tension loss and fewer feeding issues over the magazine’s service life. For shooters using .223/5.56x45mm, consistent spring tension and a properly shaped follower translate into repeatable chambering under stress or rapid-fire practice. View product details and pricing
