The Hexmag Shorty AR15 5.56 20-round magazine delivers a compact, reliable alternative to standard-capacity mags for shooters who value maneuverability without sacrificing performance. Built in the USA from carbon fiber, this 20-round magazine pairs reduced profile with proven strength—making it a solid choice for sport shooters, competition runners, and hunters working in tight spaces or who prefer lighter kit for extended outings.
Hexmag engineered this shorty with a redesigned feed lip geometry that maximizes strength and handles both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition reliably. The proprietary Hexture texture pattern gives you a confident grip even in adverse conditions, while stripper clip guides let you top off quickly between stages or in the field. A deep catch pocket locks the mag firmly in the mag well, and the heat-treated stainless-steel spring resists fatigue through extended storage—no more worrying about compression creep if a loaded mag sits in your range bag for months.
If you're running a modern piston gun, a precision rifle build, or just want less weight and bulk on your setup, the Hexmag 20-rounder lets you optimize your carry without trading reliability. It's a straightforward, American-made upgrade that does one thing well: feed your AR dependably, shot after shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Hexmag 20-round magazine work with my AR15?
Yes. The Shorty magazine is designed for standard AR15 platform rifles and fits any mil-spec AR mag well. It feeds both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition reliably.
Why choose a 20-round magazine instead of a standard 30-round?
A 20-round mag is lighter and shorter, reducing overall kit weight and profile. It's popular with competitors who value speed and maneuverability, hunters running longer hunts, and anyone who prefers a slimmer, less cumbersome package without sacrificing reliability.
What's the Hexture grip texture and why does it matter?
Hexture is Hexmag's proprietary surface pattern that provides a secure, textured grip. It helps you handle the mag confidently in wet, cold, or gloved conditions—useful in the field or during high-speed competition.
How long can I safely keep this magazine loaded?
The heat-treated stainless-steel spring resists compression fatigue, so you can safely store the mag loaded for extended periods without worrying about spring degradation or feeding issues.
