Constructed from a military-grade copolymer, the magazine is built to withstand heat, cold, UV exposure, chemicals, and impact, even in extreme temperatures. It resists cracking, brittling, or discoloring over time without requiring lip reinforcement. Available in Clear and Smoke finishes, the translucent body allows users to check ammunition count and type at a glance, with a textured surface to minimize shine.

The SKU is 10EXD762x51-T-C for the translucent version.

Key features for these translucent magazines include:

• Long glass fiber polymer construction for durability
• Ribbed surfaces on front and rear for improved grip
• Tool-less disassembly with double floor plate safety release tabs
• Stainless-steel spring and four-way anti-tilt, self-lubricating follower
• Flared floor plate for easier handling
• Oversized bolt catch for reliable operation
• Paint pen dot matrix for marking

What kind of magazines do you like best? Ordinary black ones, or painted in the same (or contrast) color of your firearm? Or do you like translucent or smoked translucent magazines like these? Please use the comments section and let us know. Personally, I do think translucent gives a cooler look, but also adds functionality as you can see what’s inside. For absolute long-term performance, I’d go for a black magazine, most likely a metal magazine.
