MDT AICS 308 Winchester/6.5 Creedmoor 12-Round Magazine

MDT AICS Magazine: Precision Engineering for the Discerning Shooter

This MDT AICS-pattern magazine represents a thoughtful approach to magazine design, combining practical engineering with genuine durability.

Design and Function

The magazine features MDT's proprietary Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) transition design. This engineering choice reduces overall magazine height compared to conventional designs—a meaningful advantage when working with modern precision rifles where every fraction of an inch matters for ergonomics and handling.

Construction and Materials

High-strength steel construction forms the foundation of this magazine. The steel undergoes nitriding, a surface hardening process that increases wear resistance and extends service life. The complete magazine—inside and outside surfaces—receives a Cerakote Elite finish, a ceramic-based coating that delivers:

• Superior corrosion resistance
• Reduced friction for smooth feeding
• Exceptional durability under field conditions
• Consistent performance across temperature extremes

Specifications

• Capacity: 12 rounds
