Accurate AICS Short Action DSSF Magazine .223/5.56 3.055 Length 10/rd
The Accurate AICS Short Action DSSF magazine for .223/5.56 is built for shooters who've already invested in an AICS-pattern short-action setup and want a reliable, purpose-built magazine for modern sporting rifle builds, precision ARs, or bolt-gun platforms. This 10-round magazine feeds .223 and 5.56 NATO ammunition and is engineered to work with existing rifles that use M-24 type short-action bottom metals—a significant advantage if you're retrofitting a stock or consolidating multiple calibers on the same platform.
The 3.055-inch length is optimized for .223/5.56 geometry and maximum overall length (OAL) of 2.325 inches, ensuring reliable feeding and functioning in short-action systems. This magazine is not compatible with Savage .223 rifles due to their shortened bolt stroke, so verify your rifle's action type before purchase. Whether you're building a precision rifle, running a duty-grade .223 bolt gun, or setting up a modular system, this DSSF magazine delivers the consistency and durability you expect from a purpose-designed AICS magazine.
If you're already running AICS short-action bottom metals, swapping calibers becomes as simple as changing barrel and action—your magazine system stays consistent. That's real-world efficiency for hunters, competitive shooters, and precision riflemen who value simplicity and reliability over platform proliferation.
