AR 15 Magazines
WHAT IS AN AR-15 MAGAZINE?
An AR-15 magazine is what you’ll need to feed your new AR-15 80 lower rifle build! These magazines house the .223 Remington and 5.56 x 45 NATO calibers, but can also feed the .300 blackout caliber. We carry industry-proven brands such as Magpul, Hexmag, and Surefeed to make sure your rifles never have to experience a hiccup.
WHY CHOOSE THESE MAGAZINES?
Having a self-made AR-15 rifle is awesome, but do you have reliable mags for them? For the industry standard, choose Magpul; a company whose magazines have been proven in battle and by law enforcement. Hexmags are newer to the game but they’re incredibly lightweight and have hexagonal designs that make for better grip. SureFeed has been supplying the U.S. Military longer than any other company, with hundreds of thousands of magazines delivered to our armed forces. Whatever you choose, we don't stock magazines that we don't trust ourselves, so rest assured you are making the right choice.

How Many AR-15 Magazines Should You Have?
This question largely depends on how much shooting you plan to do. If you use your AR 15 for frequent trips to the gun range, you may want to make sure you have plenty of magazines on hand, so you don’t have to spend time reloading them. If your AR-15 doesn’t get shot often, you don’t have to worry about having as many. Ultimately, the answer is “more,” but you should have as many AR-15 magazines as you could envision yourself needing down the road.
