Mag Hexmag Shorty Ar15 5.56 20rd Smk

The Mag Hexmag Shorty AR15 5.56 20rd in translucent smoke finish is a compact, reliable magazine purpose-built for AR-15 platforms where space and weight constraints demand a lighter-capacity alternative to standard 30-round configurations. Law enforcement operators, precision marksmen, and military personnel who run shorter patrol rifles, designated marksman systems, or confined-space operations benefit from this magazine's reduced profile without sacrificing feed reliability or durability. The 20-round capacity balances ammunition reserve with easier concealment, faster holstering, and improved ergonomics in vehicle or room-clearing scenarios.

Hexmag engineered this shorty variant with reinforced witness holes and impact-resistant polymer construction to withstand the rigors of duty use and tactical training. The translucent smoke housing allows rapid visual confirmation of remaining round count—a critical advantage during high-stress engagements or administrative checks. The magazine's low-profile design reduces overall weapon length and center-of-gravity shift, enabling faster target transitions and improved handling in tight quarters. Feed lips are precision-molded to military 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington specifications, ensuring consistent bolt-catch and chamber reliability across various AR-15 upper assemblies.

This magazine is fully compatible with all standard AR-15 platforms chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington, including mil-spec and commercial-pattern receivers. Weighing just 0.25 lbs when empty, it is ideal for long-range reconnaissance, tactical carbine builds, and duty rifles where cumulative weight savings matter. The Hexmag Shorty 20rd performs identically to Hexmag's full-size offerings in reliability testing and is trusted by professional end-users across law enforcement and military special operations communities for mission-critical performance.
