Magpul MAG549-BLK PMAG 5rd AICS Magazine for 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, .260 Rem, .243 Win, 7.62x51mm NATO - Black

The Magpul PMAG 5 7.62 AC is a lightweight, durable polymer magazine engineered for bolt action rifles built on short action AICS-pattern bottom metal. Chambered for .308 Winchester and compatible with the broader family of 0.470" case-head cartridges—including 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington, .260 Remington, and .243 Winchester—this 5-round magazine is the go-to choice for hunters and precision shooters who demand reliability without unnecessary bulk. Whether you're setting up a Remington 700-footprint rifle, a Ruger American Rifle, or any other short-action platform that accepts AICS magazines, the PMAG 5 delivers the proven track record Magpul is known for.

Built from next-generation, impact- and crush-resistant polymer, the PMAG 5 features a removable, flared floorplate that makes magazine handling intuitive and field maintenance straightforward. The self-lubricating follower and long-life stainless steel spring work together to ensure consistent, reliable feeding across a range of ammunition—a critical detail in hunting and precision applications where a single failure can cost you the day. The paint-pen dot matrix on the body lets you quickly identify magazines at a glance, particularly useful if you're running different loads or calibers across multiple rifles.

This black-colored, made-in-the-USA magazine is compact enough for hunting in tight spaces but rigid enough to take the rigors of field use and long-term storage. If you're running a stock like the Magpul Hunter 700 or building out a precision bolt gun on a modern chassis, the PMAG 5 pairs seamlessly with AICS-spec bottom metal and slides into your workflow without fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this magazine work with my rifle's AICS bottom metal?

The PMAG 5 7.62 AC is designed for short action AICS-pattern bottom metal, including Magpul's Bolt Action Magazine Well for the Hunter 700 Stock and other standard AICS-spec setups. However, due to the wide variety of aftermarket receivers, stocks, and chassis, minor fitting may occasionally be required. Not compatible with Accuracy International AE rifles or SR25/M110 pattern magazines used in semi-auto platforms.

What calibers does this magazine support?

The PMAG 5 accepts .308 Winchester, 7.62x51mm NATO, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington, .260 Remington, .243 Winchester, and other cartridges built on a 0.470" case head. It is not compatible with smaller-case cartridges like .223 Remington, .300 AAC Blackout, or .220 Swift, nor with larger short action magnums.

Is this magazine compatible with my Ruger American Rifle?

Yes, the PMAG 5 7.62 AC works with Ruger American Rifle short action platforms. Magpul has optimized the magazine's follower and spring design to ensure reliable feeding across 3-lug bolt action rifles like the Ruger, while maintaining proven performance in 2-lug platforms like the Remington 700.

Can I take this magazine apart for cleaning?

Yes. The removable, flared floorplate is designed for easy field maintenance and disassembly. The self-lubricating follower and stainless steel spring can be accessed by removing the base plate.
